Obviously, it is expected to carry a hefty price tag -- to the tune of $200,000 or more -- but if you're on the fence, consider this: the winner will get more than just lyrics. Reuters reports that the draft also includes a rough sketch depicting four people in a room with curtained windows. Oh, the mind and creative talents of John Lennon.
The song itself remains a centerpiece of the Beatles' career redefining album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,' which was originally released in 1967. The handwritten draft will be auctioned by Profiles in History during their Hollywood Memorabilia Auction 44 at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills on May 14 and 15.
