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
Imagine the sand
Running out as he struts
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]
|A2 |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
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 villians and fools
[repeat chorus]
And you will see the end
You will see the end
And you will see the end
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 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
