Give Peace a Chance
(December 8th, 1980)
10:50 pm, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG in the cold dark night
This Boy
An idol falls down in front of the Dakota Building entrance
Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
The music died that night with the legend 5
Mother
But, this was a man of peace and brotherly love
Ask Me Why,
Who would do such a thing?
Imagine 10
A faceless nobody named Mark David Chapman
Power to the People
Why did he do it?
Jealous Guy
Chapman didn’t want to be a nobody, so he shot our idol 15
Mind Games
It doesn’t make sense!
(Just Like) Starting Over
A wife without a husband and two sons without a father
#9 Dream 20
He walked away to the pearly white gates at 11:07 pm, you know?
Stand by Me
No funeral, just food for the hungry golden yellow flames
Whatever Gets You thru the Night
His widow kept the ashes 25
Woman Is the Nigger of the World
She was blamed for breaking up the Fab Four
Woman
Now you can’t help but feel sorry for her that day
You Can’t Do That 30
It’s not fair! It’s just not fair!
Instant Karma!
The music died that night with the legend
Love
It’s all ironic really 35
Nobody Told Me
They all treated him like a criminal for the last few years of his life
I'm Stepping Out
He felt safe in NYC two days before the music died
Borrowed Time
“I'll probably be popped off by some loony.” 40
