I played this song for my little sisters funeral, she was 11 and this was her favorite song in the world. Please pray that Kiera made it to heaven, she was hit by a car and 2 days later passed away.

When it says “you may say I’m a dreamer” instead of playing C, Cmaj, E E7 I play F G C E7. I hope that this is helpful, that’s just what I think sounds right

i love this song!

Strumming pattern for the pickup of the song? I use down strums for the slow bits, but I’m not sure what to use for the faster parts :/

The lyrics in this are in the wrong order

For “above us only sky”,”no religion too” I play an Em. It sounds really pretty. And for “a brotherhood of man” I play an A

For the ‘imagine all the people..’ I do plucking down from g to a and for the chorus + pre-chorus I do F/ am/ dm/ etc.

Personally, i think +7 is slightly easier! :)
Just an FYI, “No need for greed or hunger,” and “Nothing to kill or die for” actually is sung later on towards the end of the original. Other than that, it was very helpful!

In the song for the piano intro i do this on my uke– :)
(F)
A|—————-2h3————————0h2h3
E|0—0—0————–1—–1——1—-
C|–0—0—0—————0——0—-0–
G|0—0—0————–2—–2——2—

sounds good to me, you can also do the plucking pattern like this though:
A|3- – -3- – -3- – -2- – -0- – -0- – -0- – – – – –
E|0- – -0- – -0- – -0- – -1- – -1- – -1- – – – – –
C|- -0- – -0- – -0- – -0- – -0- – -0- – -0- – –
G|0- – -0- – -0- – -0- – -2- – -2- – -2- – –
2-3-4
