Heard Somebody Say Lyrics

Lyric discussion by dm4003 

Cover art for Heard Somebody Say lyrics by Devendra Banhart

I think this is a Devendra paying a homage to John Lennon as well as a protest song. The chord intervals are about the same as "Oh Yoko!" by John. Also, the part "I heard somebody say, That the war ended today" could be relating to "John's War Is Over... If you want it" protest. Call me crazy if you want, but i hear the Imagine piano rhythm towards the end, too.

My Interpretation

There are a lot of subtle hints (and some not so subtle) on this album that lead me to believe it's a tribute to the sounds and ideas of the Beatles.

I'm trying to figure this song out but I'm somewhat new to piano/keyboard and I need help! I have a book with a lot of scales and keys so I could probably figure out if you just gave me all the different progressions in the song. If you could help out it'd be really awesome.
