You know, I don't know how songs happen or where they come from.
It's an incredibly magical thing to me.
Sometimes you literally sweat blood trying to write a song.
Sometimes it takes months [C] and sometimes it can happen in ten [Bb] minutes.
Annie's song I wrote in ten minutes one day on a ski lift here [E] in Aspen.
Heart to heart that you heard earlier, I wrote sitting [Bm] alone one night in a restaurant
overlooking Hong Kong Harbor, having been in China the five weeks prior to that.
Sitting by myself alone on a napkin, I wrote heart to heart.
So I don't know how it happens and I don't know the words to [N] this song.
_ _ _ _ I may know some of them.
_ [Bm] _ _ I don't have a mell_
This is a song in progress, folks.
But Dave, I don't want you to go home from this trip.
_ _ _ _ Bacon. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Damn, John Denver's never going to [F] write that song.
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Let the [G] mountains _ talk.
Let the river [C] run.
_ _ There is wisdom [G] here.
_ _ There is much to [C]
learn.
_ There is much [Am] to know.
[F] _ [G] Much to [C] understand. _ _ _
In this healing [G] time,
_ _ all across the [C] land,
_ you have heard my song
for so many [C] _
years.
You have laughed [G] with me,
_ washed away my [C] tears. _
You have shared [Am] my joy.
_ [F] You [G] have felt [C] my pain.
In this healing [G] time,
_ walk with me [C]
again.
_ Through these [Am] darker days,
_ [G] on this narrow _ [C] line, _
_ _ _ help me [Am] find my way.
_ [F] Help [G] me see the [C] _
signs.
I [G] am not [Am] afraid. _ _
[F] _ [G] I am [C] not alone. _ _
You have taught [G] me well. _ _
You have brought [C] me home.
_ Let the [G] mountains speak.
_ _ Let the [C] rivers run.
_ _ As the [G] world awakes
_ to the [C] rising sun,
_ _ in each brand [Am] new day,
_ [F] in [G] our own [C] rebirth, _ _
in this healing [G] time, _ _
on our mother [C] _ earth.
Let the mountains [A] _ talk.
[F] _ [G] Let the rivers [C] run.
_ _ There is wisdom [Am] _ here.
There [G] is so much to [C] learn.
_ In each brand new [Am]
day,
_ [F] _ [G] in our own [C] rebirth,
_ _ in this healing [G] time,
_ _ for our mother [C] earth. _
_ In each brand [Am] new day, _
[F] _ [G] in our own [C] rebirth, _ _
_ in this healing [G] time, _ _
_ here on mother _ [C] earth.
