A Canadian is auctioning off his hand written copy of the lyrics to “Give Peace a Chance,” written by John Lennon himself.

The Globe and Mail reports that Gail Renard, a 55-year-old originally from Montreal, got the lyrics during Lennon’s bed-in for peace in 1969 at Montreal’s Queen Elizabeth hotel.

Renard, then 16, snuck into the bed-in, where she says Lennon immediately took a liking to her and gave her the lyrics himself.

The lyrics will go on auction on July 10 and are expected to sell for close to half of a million dollars
