Lennon RULED, McCartney SUCKED! That's my opinion anyway!
The chords I've given above are good for strumming the song.
If you play the tab I've transcribed (or R. Porter transcribed
it originally) you'll see the chords there are a bit different.
The tab is at the bottom of the file. I got the verse tab from
OLGA where R. Porter had posted it, but
I transcribed the chorus and bridge tab myself.
INTRO:
------
C F C F
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
CHORUS:
-------
F C/E Dm Dm7
Imagine all the people
G G7
Living for today
VERSE 2: [play same as verse 1]
--------
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
CHORUS: [play same as first chorus]
-------
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
BRIDGE:
-------
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
VERSE 3: [play same as verses 1 & 2]
--------
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
CHORUS: [play same as previous choruses]
-------
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
BRIDGE: [play same as first bridge]
-------
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

R. Porter transcribed the verse tab, I
transcribed the chorus and bridge tab. I've tried to make it
sound as much like the piano style as possible, but that doesn't
mean it's note-for-note correct. Anyway, I'm a guitar player,
not a piano player, so what do you expect. To my ears at least
it sounds pretty damn close to the piano.
