Chords

[Intro] C G F x2 [Verse 1]
C                                 G
We had our heart strings dangling ripe for the yanking

    F
And lot of reasons grabby was good

C                           G
Poor huddled masses singing boots up their asses

       F
Giving grabby what he needed to pull

C                         G
All the way back to where ghosts from the past were still

F
Fighting their wars from the grave

C                                G
Complete with record burning and threatening and spurning

    F
The crime of getting blood on the page
C G F x2 [Verse 2]
C                                 G
Since the big one ended we'd been mostly pretending

          F 
We'd have had the same gumption and grit

       C                      G
As the greatest among us when harm came upon us

F
We wouldn't hesitate to defend

C                               G
But with or against something's been out to get us

       F
And it looked like something finally did

   C                   G
No nobler cause in our lifetime for setting our 

F
Sails to the wind
[Chorus]
G                                                                  F
But once they banned Imagine it became the same old war its always been

C                           G                                  F
Once they banned Imagine it became the war it was when we were kids

G                                                                  F
But once they banned Imagine it became the same old war its always been

C                           G                                  F
Once they banned Imagine it became the war it was when we were kids
[Bridge] Am F C x2 [Bridge Verse]
        Am                           F                                              
Are you now or have you ever been in cahoots

         C                      Bb
With the notion that people can change

     Am               G                      
When history happens again if you do 

       F
Or you did you'll be blamed

Am                       F
From baseless inquiry to no knocking entry

   C                     Bb
Becoming the law of the land

   Am                       G
To half cocked excuses for bullet abuse 

          F
Regarding anything browner than tan
[Chorus]
G                                                                    F
Cause once they banned Imagine it became the same old war its always been

C                           G                                  F
Once they banned Imagine it became the war it was when we were kids

G                                                                    F
Cause once they banned Imagine it became the same old war its always been

C                           G                                  F
Once they banned Imagine it became the war it was when we were kids
