I'm pretty sure that everything here is right. It's a cool song and not
too hard to play. The song is just a lot of repeating.
Capo on 6th fret

Lyrics:
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
And above us is only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
You may say that i'm a dreamer
But I am not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
No religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life for peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I am not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
and the world will live as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I am not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one
