Original Song: Imagine
By John Lennon
Rewritten By: RedHeart 8-16-08
Title: John Lennon Tribute
© Thomas(RedHeart)Peterson COPYRIGHT AUGUST 2008
Imagine John Lennon
Close your eyes and try
He was taken from us
makes me wonder why
Imagine him still living
what would John have to say
Imagine him at a piano
performing the song Hey Jude
Singing a song against war
or another Beatles tune
Imagine him being here
singing for me and you
You may say John was a dreamer
But he was not the only one
He hoped someday we'd all join him
And the world would be as one
Imagine all his visions
He sung to make his case
He wrote to show his concern
for the human race
He imagined all the people
in harmony throughout the world
His songs reflected love and peace
and he was born before his time
Let's take a moment to join in
and remember John Lennon

Here is a guitar melody of 'Imagine' members can sing the John Lennon Tribute lyrics to. I will try and find some more melodies of 'Imagine' that members can sing along with. If there are any members that can supply me with links to the melody, I would appreciate your help.

Very beautifully done. Certainly was a nice performance. John was an awesome individual. He had sentiments that were shared by many and he brought light to their concerns. Thank you for joining in, Gladys.
