DWhat if John BmLennon were Bbstill alive toAday
And Ghe had Anot been Dshot?D7  
The Ggeneral conseAnsus is that Dthat woulD/C#d be nBmice

He'd Dhang around with BmGeldof doinBbg Live Aid and thAe like
[Chorus]
Oh I'm gBblad John LAennon died.D  
[Verse]
DNow before you start to Bmboo me and Bbsay that I'm a A****
PerGhaps I Ashould explainD  D7  
He Glast wrote a good Asong in Dnineteen D/C#seventy Bmone
And he E7never wrote a dAecent thinA7g again
[Verse]
His Dmusic in the Bmeighties would have sBbounded like Crowded AHouse
[Chorus]
Oh I'm gBblad John LAennon dDied.
[Bridge]
And C#here's a thought, imagine if
he C#made a guest appearance as a 
paneC#7list on Never Mind The BuF#zzcocks.
AbAll his contributions would be painfully bad
EmAnd to see him look so past is would be realAly sad.
[Verse]
He'd Dalways be on TwBmitter making rBbeally racist joAkes
[Chorus]
Oh I'm gBblad John LAennon died.D

In D1990 BmYoko would have Bbkilled him anyAway
[Chorus]
Oh I'm gBblad John LAennon dDied
[Bridge]
And C#by the way I wonder if
You C#ever stopped to think about
WhatC#7ever would have happened to F#McCartney.
AbEveryone would still be saying "Paul is dead"
EmAnd they would have named the airport after Ahim instead
[Verse]
Imagine if Dhe instead of BmNeil Buchanan preBbsented 'Art AttAack'...
