Chords for John Denver - Rhymes Reasons

[F] _ _ _ _ So you be [Bb] comfortable, I ain't gonna let it [F] stop me.
_ _ [G] _ _
Here's the song that I gave to UNICEF a few years [B] ago,
a song written for [Db] and about children.
It's called [C] Rhyme and Reason.
[F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you speak to me [C] of sadness
_ [Bb] and the coming of the [F] winter
_ _ [Dm] Fear that is within you [Bb] now
and seems to never [C] end
_ [F] And the dreams that have [C] escaped you
[Bb] and the hope that you've [F] forgotten
_ _ [Dm] And you tell me [F] that you need me now
and [C] you want to be my friend
_ [Bb] And you wonder where we're going
Where's the [F] rhyme? _
Where's the [C] reason?
_ [Dm] And it's you [F] cannot accept
_ It [C] is here we must begin
to seek the [Gm] wisdom of the children _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] And the [Am] graceful [Bb] way of [F] flowers in the [C] _ _
wind
_ _ For the [F] children and [C] flowers
[Bb] are my sisters and [F] my brothers
_ [Dm] Their laughter and their loveliness
[Bb] would clear a [C] cloudy day
[F] Like the music of the [C] mountains
_ _ [Bb] and the colors of the [F] rainbow
_ [Dm] They're a promise of [F] the future
_ [C] and a blessing for [F] _ today _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ Though _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] the cities start to [C] crumble _
and [Bb] the towers fall [F] around us
[Dm] The sun is slowly fading
and [Bb] it's colder than [C] the sea
[F] It is written from the [C] desert _
to [Bb] the mountains they shall [F] lead us
[Dm] By the hand and by [F] the heart _
[C] they will comfort you and me _
[Bb] In their innocence and trusting
[F] they will teach us to be [C] _ _
free
_ _ [F] For the children and [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ sisters and my [F] brothers
_ _ [Dm] Their laughter [D] and their loveliness
[C] [Bb] would clear a cloudy [C] day
[F] And a song that _ [Bb] I'm singing
is [C] a prayer to non [F] _ -believers
[Am] _ [D] Come and [F] stand beside us
We [C] can _ find a [Bb] better _ way _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
