When John Lennon gave Gail Renard the scribbled lyrics to "Give Peace a Chance" in 1969, he told the teen to hold on to the piece of paper.
"It will be worth something someday," Lennon predicted in the midst of his famous eight-day "bed-in" with his new wife, Yoko Ono, in Montreal.
She did, and it is. Christie's plans to auction off the lyric sheet in July as the centerpiece in its rock and pop memorabilia sale. The words to the enduring peace anthem are expected to fetch more than $400,000.
