This song is one of John Lennon’s songs however it is different from the version on Plastic Ono Band when he is playing with a band. I’m 99% positive this is the correct tab for the acoustic version. I have listened to this son a million times and finally decided to tab it out. It is from John Lennon’s Acoustic album. Some lyrics have been changed for this version from the other version.

Capo 5th fret

C          Am           F        G7
I had a message from above
    C                   C/B  Am
And I’m here to tell you
              F                  G7        C    C/B  Am
That this message concerns our love
                         F       G7                 C
The angels must have sent me     to deliver this to you
            F                       C
Now hear me now, brothers and sisters

C              Am  Am/G
God is a concept
F                 G7
By which we measure
C      C/B  Am Am/G
Our pain
F               G7
I’ll say it again
C             Am  Am/G
God is a concept
F                G7
By which we measure
      C                  F   C   E7/G#
Our pain         yes we do

(Then he starts the list which is the same chord progression all the way through until he says Beatles)

Am              F       E7/G#
I don’t believe in magic
I don’t believe in I-ching
I don’t believe in Bible
I don’t believe in tarot
I don’t believe in Hitler
I don’t believe in Jesus
I don’t believe in Kennedy
I don’t believe in Buddha
I don’t believe in mantra
I don’t believe in Gita
I don’t believe in yoga
I don’t believe in kings
I don’t believe in Elvis
I don’t believe in Dylan
Am                 F               (pause no chord)
I don’t believe in Beatles

F                 G7
I just believe in me
               C
And that’s reality
C/B     Am  Am/G
Yes it is
F                 G7
Do you read me brother
C        Am
I had a concept……..

Enjoy this great song…Peace
