Paul McCartney’s ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ Lyrics Can Be Yours for Around Half a Million
Paul McCartney’s handwritten lyrics to “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” are headed to the auction block via Moments in Time. The asking price is 425,000.
The song was pretty close to its final form when McCartney wrote these lyrics down on Apple Corps stationary, but he did cross out a few words in the second verse and make tiny corrections.
“Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” which centers around a deranged murderer named Maxwell Edison who kills his victims with a hammer, was penned in late 1968 during the writing sessions for The White Album.
