[C] [G]
[A] Imagine a time [F#m] when [G] it all began In the dying days of [A] a war
A weapon that [C] would settle the [G] score [A] Whoever found it first
Would be sure [G] to do their worst [A]
They [F#m] always had [C] before
[D]
[C]
[G] [Bm] [A] Imagine a land
[F#m] where [G] it all began A scientist facing [A] the floor
In each nation, [C] always eager to [G] explore [A] Build the best big [F#m] stick
To turn [G] the winning trick [A] But [F#m] this was something [C] more
[A#]
[D]
[Dm] [F]
[C] The whole world shook the world Shook down the rising sun
The [A#] end was begun, it would kill everyone When the chain reaction was done
[D] Big shots try to hold it back Fools try to push it away
[F] The hopeful defend while the wounded die Whatever the hopeless may say
[G] [A] Imagine a place
[F#m] where it all [G] began Galley boom across [C#] the [A] land
To work in the secrecy [C] of the desert sand [G] [C#m] All the brightest [F#m] boys
To play [G] with the biggest toys [A] More [F#m] than they bargained [C] for
The big bang took and shook the world
[A#]
[D] The hopeful defend while the wounded [Dm]
die [F] Whatever the hopeless may say
[G] Imagine [A] a man [F#m] when it [G] all began Like the pilot of a nola [A] game
Flying out of the [F#m] shockwave [G] on that August day
The [A]
[F#m] parts of [G] his story [A] would [F#m] be changed forever
