Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no re ligion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Intro
In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
-
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
-
When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.
-
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing, would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
-
Deedee dee dee, dee dee deedee
Dee dee deedee, dee dee deedee
Dee de deeee
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
-
For standing in your heart
Is where I want to be and long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
-
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Eric Idle 1979
Some [Am]things in life are [D]bad they can [G]really make you [Em]mad
Other [Am]things just make you [D]swear and [G]curse
When you're [Am]chewing on life's [D]gristle
Don't [G]grumble give a [Em]whistle
And [Am]this'll help things turn out for the [D7]best
And [G]always [Em]look on the [Am]bright [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7]
[G]Always [Em]look on the [Am]light [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7] If [Am]life seems jolly [D]rotten there's [G]something you've [Em]forgotten
And [Am]that's to laugh and smile and [D]dance and [G]sing
When you're [Am]feeling in the [D]dumps don't be [G]silly [Em]chumps
Just [Am]purse your lips and whistle - that's the [D7]thing
And [G]always [Em]look on the [Am]bright [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7]
Come on al[G]ways [Em]look on the [Am]bright [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7]
For [Am]life is quite ab[D]surd and [G]death's the final [Em]word
You must [Am]always face the [D]curtain with a [G]bow
For[Am]get about your [D]sin - give the [G]audience a [Em]grin
En[Am]joy it - it's your last chance any[D7]how
So [G]always [Em]look on the [Am]bright [D7]side of [G]death [Em] [Am] [D7]
[G]Just be[Em]fore you [Am]draw your [D7]terminal [G]breath [Em] [Am] [D7]
[Am]Life's a piece of [D]shit [G]when you look at [Em]it [Am]Life's a laugh and [D]death's a joke it's [G]true
You'll [Am]see it's all a [D]show
Keep 'em [G]laughing as you [Em]go
Just [Am]remember that the last laugh is on [D7]you
And [G]always [Em]look on the [Am]bright [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7]
[G]Always [Em]look on the [Am]right [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7]
(Come on guys, cheer up) [A]Always [F#m]look on the [Bm]right [E7]side of [A]life [F#m] [Bm] [E7]
[A]Always [F#m]look on the [Bm]right [E7]side of [A]life [F#m] [Bm] [E7]....
