[Verse 1]

C                         F

  Imagine there's no heaven

C                    F

  It's easy if you try

C                 F

  No hell below us

C                  F

  Above us, only sky

 

[Prechorus]

F         Am7      Dm   C

  Imagine all the people

 G              G7

Livin' for today,   Ah

 

[Verse 2]

C                          F

  Imagine there's no countries

C                   F

  It isn't hard to do

C                     F

  Nothing to kill or die for

C                   F

  And no religion, too

 

[Prechorus]

Livin' life in peace, you

 

[Chorus]

F          G          C     E7

  You may say I'm a dreamer

F          G             C  E7

  But I'm not the only one

F             G           C    E7

  I hope someday you'll join us

  And the world will be as one

 

[Verse 3]

C                    F

  Imagine no possessions

C                   F

  I wonder if you can

C                       F

  No need for greed or hunger

C                   F

  A brotherhood of man

 

[Prechorus]

F         Am7      Dm   C

  Imagine all the people

  G               G7

Sharing all the world, you

 

[Chorus]

F          G           C    E7

  You may say I'm a dreamer

F          G             C  E7

  But I'm not the only one

F             G           C    E7

  I hope someday you'll join us

F          G          C

  And the world will live as one
