5. I Don't Want To Be a Soldier – 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).

6. Give Me Some Truth – John Lennon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On recent editions of the album, the title has been changed
to "Gimme Some Truth"
TIP - 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.
