  I hope some day you'll join us
F          G          C
  And the world will be as one

  Imagine no possessions
C             Cmaj F
  I wonder if you can

  No need for greed or hunger
C                Cmaj  F
  A brotherhood of man

F         Am         Dm   F
  Imagine all the people
    G              G7
  Sharing all the world, you
