Ahead By a Century - New Key

Hi Rock Band players!,
      I met with the singers today at recess and we figured out a key for them to sing that is much more manageable than the one we were trying. We'll be doing the song in G from now on. What does this mean for you? If you play bass, piano, or guitar, then you'll have a whole new set of chords to learn. You can get around this if you have a capo. You just have to put your capo on the 5th fret and the problem is solved. If you don't then please check out this link for the new chords. The chord names are correct in the link but not the shapes. If you need some help, come see me on Thursday at big recess.

Thanks,
Mr. K

Remembrance Day Song: Imagine - John Lennon

Here is our song for remembrance day. Please check below the video for new lyrics.


Karaoke version:



"Imagine"

Imagine there's no fighting
It's easy if you try
No trouble below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no hunger, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one
