Child Of Nature Is A Song Written By John Lennon. When The Beatles Were At India They Attended A Lecture By Maharishi Mahesh Yogi About A "son Of The Mother Nature". It Inspired Both John Lennon And Paul McCartney To Write Songs About The Same Subject.

However Both Were Demoed At George Harrison's Esher Home In May Of 1968. The Demo Featured Lennon's Double-Tracked His Vocal And Playing An Acoustic Guitar. After That Lennon Continued To Play It Into The Get Back Sessions. Eventually The Lyrics Were Scrapped And Replaced By The Now Well Known "Jealous Guy" Lyrics For Imagine.
