Imagine a man
   |E/B     |Em/B
Not a child of any revolt
          |B     |B7sus2 |E6/B  |Em6/B  |
But a plain man tied up in life

|B       |B7
Imagine the sand
    |E/B      |Em/B
Running out as he struts
           |B     |B7sus2 |E6/B  |Em6/B  |
Parading and fading, ignoring his wife

Imagine a road
So long looking backwards
You can't see where it really began

Imagine a load
So large and so smooth
That against it a man is an ant

[chorus]
  |A |B  |C#m|D#m|E  |  |  |
And you will see the end
|E        |B  |E/B B  |B Bmaj7 |Bmaj7 E/B  |B   |   |
 You will see the end                      (I-)

Imagine events
That occur everyday
Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit

Imagine a fence
Around you as high as prudential
Cast in shadows, you can't see your feet

Imagine a girl
With long flowing hair
And the body of chalky perfection and truth

Imagine a past
That you wish you had lived
Full of heroes and villains and fools

[repeat chorus]
  |A |B  |C#m|D#m|E  |  |  |
And you will see the end
E        |B  |E/B B  |E/B B  |E/B B  |
You will see the end
  |A  B  |C#m D#m|E  |  |  |
And you will see the end
E        |B   |E/B B  |B Bmaj7 |Bmaj7 E/B  |B  |  |
You will see the end, oh yeah

Imagine a man
Not a child of any revolt
But a man of today feeling new

Imagine a soul
So old it is broken
And you know your invention is you

[repeat chorus]

And you will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end, oh yeah
