Imagine (John Lennon) - fingerstyle guitar cover

A very simple #Fingerstyle arrangement I've made for Imagine, by John Lennon, keeping to the same key of C major. It was apparently one of the top 100 most played tracks of the 20th Century and more than 200 artists have covered it.
After the 2012 Olympics it re-entered the UK Charts, hitting no 18.
The words were inspired from a poem by Yoko Ono, titled 'Cloud Piece' which she wrote in 1964.
"The concept of positive prayer ... If you can imagine a world at peace, with no denominations of religion - not without religion but without this my God-is-bigger-than-your-God thing - then it can be true ... the World Church called me once and asked, "Can we use the lyrics to 'Imagine' and just change it to 'Imagine one religion'?" That showed me they didn't understand it at all. It would defeat the whole purpose of the song, the whole idea."
~ tragically from an interview in December 1980, he must have said that only days before he died.
