John Lennon
Gimme Some Truth
Imagine (1971)

Capo 3e fret (en F)

D                     F♯m
I'm sick and tired of hearing things
     D7
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
G                 A
All I want is the truth
G               A
Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

     C                             C
  No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
           C                        C
  Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
                           B♭
  With just a pocketful of hope
            F               G
  Money for dope, money for rope                 oouu (cette fois seul.)

D  F♯m  D7   G  A  G  A  x 2  w/ slide

  Refrain  (pocketful of soap)

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now now
Just gimme some truth

  Refrain  (pocketful of soap)  fin: aah

I'm sick to death of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

All I want is the truth      (crié)
Just gimme some truth
