I Dont Want To Be A Soldier Cifras

John Lennon / I Don't Wanna be a Soldier
 
From "Imagine" (1971)
Written by John Lennon
 
This song is a long jam with only two chords. They should be played without the 3rd
even though they are basically major chords (especially the e-piano plays the major
chords passingly).
