From: "Imagine" (1971) On recent editions of the album the title is "Gimme Some Truth" TIP - Here is an easier way to play this song (less barree chords): - Transpose this song down three steps to D. - Put on a capo 3rd fret to bring it back to the original key. VERSE I’m sick and tired of hearing things From uptight short-sighted narrow-minded hypocritics All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth VERSE I’ve had enough of reading things By neurotic psychotic pig-headed politicians All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth MIDDLE 8 No short-haired yellow-bellied son of tricky dicky’s gonna Mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocketful of hope Money for dope Money for rope SOLO | | | | % | | | | | | | | | | % | | | | | | MIDDLE 8 No short-haired yellow-bellied son of tricky dicky’s gonna Mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocketful of soap Money for dope Money for rope VERSE I’m sick to death of seeing things From tight-lipped condescending mamas little chauvinists All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth now VERSE I’ve had enough of watching scenes Of schizophrenic ego-centric paranoiac prima-donnas All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth MIDDLE 8 No short-haired yellow-bellied son of tricky dicky’s gonna Mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocketful of soap Money for dope Money for rope VERSE I’m sick to death of hearing things From uptight short-sighted narrow-minded hypocritics All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth VERSE I’ve had enough of reading things By neurotic psychotic pig-headed politicians All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth CODA All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth (repeat and fade)

À propos de la chanson

La chanson exprime un profond désir de vérité face à l'hypocrisie et aux mensonges de la société. L'auteur se dit épuisé par les discours des politiciens et des personnes étroites d'esprit qui ne cherchent qu'à manipuler ou à masquer la réalité. Il réclame une transparence sincère et se montre critique envers ceux qui utilisent le pouvoir pour leurs propres intérêts, sans se soucier des véritables enjeux. L'œuvre a été écrite dans un contexte de tensions sociales et politiques, où de nombreux artistes exprimaient leur désillusion face à l'autorité et la recherche de justice. Cela évoque des thèmes universels qui résonnent encore aujourd'hui, nous rappelant l'importance de sentir et comprendre la vérité sans embellissement.
