IMAGINE
                                 John Lennon


Okay, okay, I know this isn't a Beatles song, but a number of people 
have asked me to post it.  This song is very simple, so if you are
planning to learn how to play the piano, this is a good song to start
with (it's one of the few songs I will actually perform on piano!).
Here goes a guitar version...



intro:                            riff 1: This will follow all F chords
                                          in the verses
C   Cmaj7   F   (riff 1)             |---------|
C   Cmaj7   F                        |------0--|
                                     |-2-h3----|
                                     |---------|
C 	       Cmaj7  F              |---------|
 Imagine there's no heaven           |---------|
C 	       Cmaj7    F
 It's easy if  you     try
C       Cmaj7  F   
 No hell  below  us
C 	 Cmaj7   F   
 Above us only  sky


F 	 Am/E     Dm   F/C
 Imagine all the people,
G          C/G  G7  
 Living for today.  I...


C 	       Cmaj7    F
 Imagine there's no   countries
C 	     Cmaj7    F   
 It isn't hard to    do
C 	Cmaj7   F   
 No greed or   hunger
C 	   Cmaj7    F   
 And no religion   too


F 	 Am/E    Dmin   F/C
 Imagine all the people,
G            C/G  G7  
 Living life in peace.  You...

F 	  G 	      C   Cmaj7  E  E7
 You may say I'm a dreamer,
F 	 G 	       C   Cmaj7  E  E7
 But I'm not the only one.
F 	   G 	        C     Cmaj7  E  E7
 I hope someday you'll join us,
F 	   G 	      C        C/G  C/A  C/B
 And the world will live as one.


C 	  Cmaj7  F
 Imagine no possessions
C 	    Cmaj7   F
 I wonder if you   can
C 	       Cmaj7  F
 Nothing to kill or die for
C 	     Cmaj7  F
 A brotherhood of man


F 	 Am/E    Dmin   F/C
 Imagine all the people,
G            C/G   G7  
 Sharing all the world.   You...


F 	  G 	      C   Cmaj7  E  E7
 You may say I'm a dreamer
F 	 G 	       C   Cmaj7  E  E7
 But I'm not the only one
F 	   G 	        C     Cmaj7  E  E7
 I hope someday you'll join us
F 	   G 	      C
 And the world will live as one.
