Lennon John - Imagine2 guitar tab
Song: Imagine
Author: John Lennon

* Here you go, y'all at guitartabs.cc. A couple of people threw out tabs for
"Imagine," so I thought I'd do the same. I play the song, and people don't
mind that it's on guitar. This is how *I* play it. Slight differences from
the other tab(s) found here on this site, but I don't try to closely match
a piano on a guitar. They're not the same instrument, so you gotta make up
a new way to play it.
Anyways, let's see what weird stuff I got here... chords are slightly diff
on the guitar from the piano... this one may be easier to play... for Riff
C and Riff D I added dumb 'v' and '^' marks to show how I strum them, and
some chords are missing 'cuz I couldn't fit them above the lines.
In Riff C if you prefer to just slide your fingers up to play a big G(III)
chord, go ahead. It's an option. Also, for Riff D, if you don't like barre
chords ... well, can't do anything about the F... but you can play an open
G intead if you like. Not a big deal at all. I interchange G's and what I
called a G5 in here, and the barred G, depending on my mood at the time,
so I guess you can too. Have fun, and think about life with no boundaries.
It's fun and it frees up your mind and spirit. -mjv

INTRO: Riff A (x2)
VERSE: Riff A (x4), Riff B
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
VERSE:
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
CHORUS: Riff C (x3), Riff D
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
VERSE:
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
CHORUS:
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
