Songs about John Lennon's death

Since it's the anniversary of Lennon's death, I was wondering what songs there are that are about (or at least mention in a little detail) his shooting.

Some I've come up with:

Annie Christian - Prince
The Late Great Johnny Ace - Paul Simon
Here Today - Paul McCartney

What else is there? I know there are several - only those three are coming to mind now, though.

Hmmm, interesting. I haven't heard any of these except for the ones I listed - maybe I'll try to track the others down.
