  Imagine there's no heaven

  No hell below us

  Above us only sky

F         Am         Dm   F
  Imagine all the people

  Living for today a-hah

C                 Cmaj     F
  Imagine there's no countries
C               Cmaj  F
  It isn't hard to  do
C                 Cmaj   F
  Nothing to kill or die for

  And no religion too

  Living life in peace, you

  You may say I'm a dreamer
F          G              C Cmaj E E7
  But I'm not the only one
F              G          C    Cmaj E E7
  I hope some day you'll join us
F          G          C
  And the world will be as one

C             Cmaj     F
  Imagine no possessions
C             Cmaj F
  I wonder if you can
C                   Cmaj   F
  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

F          G          C   Cmaj E E7
  You may say I'm a dreamer
F          G              C Cmaj E E7
  But I'm not the only one
F              G          C    Cmaj E E7
  I hope some day you'll join us
F          G          C
  And the world will be as one
