Artist: John Lennon Song: "Imagine" (live) Album: Acoustic (2004) This is exactly how John plays "Imagine" in the live version that is included on the 2004 Acoustic compilation album. I am 100% positive that this is 100% correct, and it's also the best transcription from piano to acoustic guitar that I've heard of this song. Enjoy! C Fmaj7 Imagine there's no heaven C Fmaj7 It's easy if you try C Fmaj7 No hell below us C Fmaj7 Above us only sky F F/E Dm Dm/C Imagine all the people G G7 Living for today... C Fmaj7 Imagine there's no countries C Fmaj7 It isn't hard to do C Fmaj7 Nothing to kill or die for C Fmaj7 And no religion too F F/E Dm Dm/C Imagine all the people G G7 Living life in peace... 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 Fmaj7 And the world will live as one C Fmaj7 Imagine no possessions (try) C Fmaj7 I wonder if you can C Fmaj7 No need for greed or hunger C Fmaj7 A brotherhood of man F F/E Dm Dm/C Imagine all the people G G7 Sharing all the world... 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 Thank you!
About the artist behind Imagine Live:
In his solo career, Lennon wrote and recorded songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". Lennon revealed his rebellious nature and wit on television, in films such as A Hard Day's Night, in books such as In His Own Write, and in press conferences and interviews. He was controversial through his work as a peace activist, artist, and author.
Lennon had two sons: Julian Lennon, with his first wife Cynthia Lennon, and Sean Ono Lennon, with his second wife, avant-garde artist Yoko Ono. After a self-imposed retirement from 1976 to 1980, Lennon reemerged with a comeback album, but was murdered one month later in New York City on 8 December 1980. In 2002, respondents to a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted Lennon into eighth place. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Lennon number 38 on its list of "The Immortals: The Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time" and ranked The Beatles at number one.
