"Yes, I am," in response to, "Are You John Lennon?" is frequently cited as Lennon's "Last Words." However with many reported last words they may be more myth then fact. The myth is based on the story that the police officer did not recognize someone as famous as John Lennon (and Yoko would have been present too). This is actually a restatement or twisting of the question the officer did likely ask: "Do you know who you are" which would have been an attempt to determine Lennon's level of consciousness. Different versions have him answering or not in different manners, some state he said he was John Lennon. That is doubtful, Lennon's mouth was bleeding profusely at this point. More likely, the alternative version is accurate, that Lennon slightly nodded (or appeared to nod) and could only manage a gurgling sound from his throat before he lost consciousness totally. This concurs with reports of levels of severity of his injuries. Lennon's blood loss was so great, before the police arrived that the concierge at The Dakota realizing the severity of the injuries, simply covered Lennon with his uniform's jacket and removed his blood covered glasses then summoned police.
Sources for this include the discussion in the Last Words reference book, Last Words of Notable People -- Final Words of More than 3500 Noteworthy People Throughout History by William B. Brahms (Reference Desk Press, 2010), Brahms also cites the Lennon biography, John Ono Lennon Volume 2, 1967-1980 by Ray Coleman (Sidgwick & Jackson, 1984) which also gives this as the quote.
NYPD Officers Bill Gamble and James Moran, who placed John Lennon in the back of their squad car to take him immediately to Roosevelt Hospital rather than wait for an ambulance, have been interviewed numerous times since that night. They both claim that John's last word was "Yeah" (moaned), in answer to their questions, "Do you know who you are? Are you John Lennon?" Prior to that, John did say "I'm shot!", according to Jay Hastings, the security man at the Dakota.
He was not a president, he wasn't even American and his last words were:
"Yeah"
After he was heading to the hospital in a police car and they asked him if he was John Lennon.

Lennon's last words were spoken seconds after he was shot as he staggered a number of steps toward the lobby of the Dakota. Lennon's Last Words were: "I'm shot. "I'm shot."
