[C majorC] Imagine there's no Hea[Fmaj7Fmaj7]ven
[C majorC] It's easy if you [Fmaj7Fmaj7] try
[C majorC] No hell below [Fmaj7Fmaj7] us
[C majorC] Above us only [Fmaj7Fmaj7] sky
[FF] Imagine [F/E] all the peo[DmDm]ple [Dm6Dm6]
[G+G] Living for tod[G7G7]ay…

[C majorC] Imagine there's no coun[Fmaj7Fmaj7]tries
[C majorC] It isn't hard to [Fmaj7Fmaj7] do
[C majorC] Nothing to kill or die [Fmaj7Fmaj7] for
[C majorC] And no religion [Fmaj7Fmaj7] too
[FF] Imagine [F/E] all the peo[DmDm]ple [Dm6Dm6]
[G+G] Living life in [G7G7] peace…

[FF] You may [G+G] say I'm a [C majorC]dreamer [E7E7]
[FF] But I'm [G+G] not the only [C majorC] one
[FF] I hope some[G+G]day you'll [C majorC] join us [E7E7]
[FF] And the [G+G] world will [C majorC] live as one [Fmaj7Fmaj7]

[C majorC] Imagine no posses[Fmaj7Fmaj7]sions
[C majorC] I wonder if you [Fmaj7Fmaj7] can
[C majorC] No need for greed or hun[Fmaj7Fmaj7]ger
[C majorC] A augmentedA brotherhood of [Fmaj7Fmaj7] man
[FF] Imagine [F/E] all the peo[DmDm]ple [Dm6Dm6]
[G+G] Sharing all the [G7G7] world…

[FF] You may [G+G] say I'm a [C majorC]dreamer [E7E7]

I saw there wasn't a tab for "Watching the Wheels", which is a great song, and I didn't know how to tab it,
so I snuck it in the comments section. I figured the most traffic would be through "Imagine". I also have a
version of "Imagine" that I will post soon.

[C majorC] People say I’m crazy [Fmaj7Fmaj7] doing what I’m [C majorC] doing
[C majorC] They give me all kinds of warnings [Fmaj7Fmaj7] to save me from [C majorC] ruin
[Fmaj7Fmaj7] When I say that [DmDm] I’m o.k. well they [G+G] look at me kind of strange
[Fmaj7Fmaj7] “Surely you’re not [DmDm] happy now you no [G+G] longer play the game?”

[C majorC] People say I’m lazy [Fmaj7Fmaj7] dreaming my [C majorC] life away
[C majorC] Well they give me all kinds of advice [Fmaj7Fmaj7] designed to [C majorC] enlighten me
I [Fmaj7Fmaj7] tell them that I’m [DmDm] doing fine watching [G+G] shadows on the wall
[Fmaj7Fmaj7]“Don’t you miss the [DmDm]big time boy, you’re no [G+G]longer on the ball?”

[FF] I’m just [G+G] sitting here making the [C majorC] wheels go round and [A minorAm] round
[FF] I [DmDm] love to watch them roll [FF]
[G+G] No longer riding on the [A minorAm] merry-go-round
[FF] I just [F7F7] had to let it go [C majorC] [C/BC/B] [C/AC/A] [C/GC/G] [Fmaj7Fmaj7]

[C majorC] Ah, people asking questions, [Fmaj7Fmaj7] lost in confusion
Well I [C majorC] tell them there’s no problem, [Fmaj7Fmaj7] only sol[C majorC]utions
Well they [Fmaj7Fmaj7] shake their heads and
they [DmDm] look at me as [G+G] if I’ve lost my mind
[FF] I tell them there’s no [DmDm] hurry,
I’m just [G+G] sitting here doing time

[FF] I’m just [G+G] sitting here watching the [C majorC] wheels go round and [A minorAm] round
[FF] I really [F/E] love to watch them [DmDm] roll [Dm7Dm7]
[G+G] No longer [G7G7] riding on the [A minorAm] merry-go-round [Am/GAm/G]
[FF] I just [F7F7] had to let it go [C majorC] [C/BC/B] [C/AC/A] [C/GC/G]
[FF] I just [Fm6Fm6] had to let it go [Cmaj7Cmaj7]
