Peace Is So Chancy; Cash However...

John Lennon wrote "Give Peace a Chance" in 1969 while engaged in a weeklong so-called bed-in protest with Yoko Ono in a suite at Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel. A 16-year-old fan named Gail Renard managed to elude security, got into the room, and stayed for the week. Ahem. She received some lovely parting gifts at check-out, including Lennon's hand-written lyrics to the song. He told her to hang on to them. She did. For almost 40 years she gave peace a chance; now it's time to cash in. She's putting the lyric sheet up for auction at Christie's. It's estimated to fetch upwards of $400,000.
