Imagine A Man

	  		
 
|B            |B7 
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
