Im Glad John Lennon Died

Tom : Bm
D Bm Bb A
What if John Lennon were still alive today
G A D D7
And he had not been shot?
G A D D/C# Bm
The general consensus is that that would be nice
E7 A A7
But I dare to say that it might not.

[Verse]
D Bm Bb A
He'd hang around with Geldof doing Live Aid and the like

[Chorus]
Bb A D
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.

[Verse]
D Bm Bb A
Now before you start to boo me and say that I'm a ****
G A D D7
Perhaps I should explain
G A D D/C# Bm
He last wrote a good song in nineteen seventy one
E7 A A7
And he never wrote a decent thing again

[Verse]
D Bm Bb A
His music in the eighties would have sounded like Crowded House

[Chorus]
Bb A D
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.

[Bridge]
C#
And here's a thought, imagine if
C#
he made a guest appearance as a
C#7 F#
panelist on Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
Ab
All his contributions would be painfully bad
Em A
And to see him look so past is would be really sad.

[Verse]
D Bm Bb A
He'd always be on Twitter making really racist jokes

[Chorus]
Bb A D
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.

[Verse]
D Bm Bb A G A D
(Whistled)

[Verse]
D Bm Bb A
In 1990 Yoko would have killed him anyway

[Chorus]
Bb A D
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died

[Bridge]
C#
And by the way I wonder if
C#
You ever stopped to think about
C#7 F#
Whatever would have happened to McCartney.
Ab
Everyone would still be saying "Paul is dead"
Em A
And they would have named the airport after him instead

[Verse]
D Bm Bb A
Imagine if he instead of Neil Buchanan presented 'Art Attack'...

[Chorus]
Bb A Dsus4
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.
