Instant Karma -- John Lennon Transcribed by C. Ravenscroft (CMR2001@aol.com) The first part of the verse is an A chord with a decending baseline, so you probably don't need to play a F# minor just play an A with your thumb hooked over to get the F#. Do something similar with the 3rd line of the verse which is played over a D chord.
