Chords for John Denver- The Lord's Prayer

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Thank you.
I had a [A] _ wonderful, wonderful [D] experience this past September that I'd like to tell you all a little bit about.
I was on a trail [C#] ride with about 40 other men from all over the United [D] States,
and we were in the southwestern part of [B] Colorado, an area called the San Juan Wilderness Area.
And we rode about [D#] Durango up across the continental _ [Em] divide,
[D] spent about five days out in the wilderness, camping out, getting rained on [C#] and snowed on
and telling lies and stories. _
It was just a great, great time [C] for me and filled a truly a deep, empty place that had built up in my heart.
One of the wonderful things [D] that happened on this journey is I met a fellow named Dick Spencer,
[A] who happens to be probably [G] the finest storyteller in the world.
And he [F#] also, like my son Zachary, is half-blooded Indian, and he knows three Indian dialects.
Now the thing [D#] about all the tribes in the United [E] States, all the different Indian tribes,
and even within some tribes, the different [F#] _ _ families here and there, _ _ they all had different languages.
But when they met one another out in the wilderness someplace, they could communicate by sign language.
And Dick taught me some sign language, and [A] the most specific way that I can share it with you
is one of the things that he taught me, which was the Lord's [F#] Prayer. _ _ _ _
_ _ Our.
[G] _ All of [A] us.
Starting like this, and all of us.
Our [Dm] Father.
The mother is with the breast.
_ [D#] Our Father.
[E]
Which art?
[F#] Which one?
_ _ Which art in heaven? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Hallowed.
[D] They didn't really have a [D#] word for holy, but it was like the spirit, the mind meeting the [F#] spirit.
_ Hallowed be thy name. _ _
How are you called?
Watatashay.
_ Hallowed be thy name.
_ Thy kingdom.
Now they didn't have a word for kingdom, so what that became was sort of like holy _ teepee. _ _
_ _ _ _ Thy kingdom come.
_ _ [D#] Thy will.
They didn't have a word for will, so it was [N] thy way.
_ Thy way be done. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I like that. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ All of us.
[Em] On earth, _ the same [F#] as it is in heaven. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] Give us. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Give us this day _ _ our _ daily bread.
_ _ Adding the loaves, huh? _
And forgive us _ our trespasses.
They didn't have a word really for trespasses or sins or like that, so it was like people who steal, take from you under the cover of night.
_ Forgive us our _ trespasses the same as we forgive those who trespass against us.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [N] And lead us _ not into temptation.
[B] _
_ _ _ _ [G] Can't say it this way.
I don't know [A] why.
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ Lead us not into temptation, [D] but deliver us [F#]
from evil.
[C] And evil you cast [Dm] forcefully away.
_ [C#] _ Don't throw it behind you.
[B] Dick was very specific about that.
I don't know what that means, but it doesn't go with a prayer.
_ _ _ [E] Evil for [C]
thine is the [G] kingdom _ and _ the power. _ _ _ _
_ The same everywhere and all. _
_ [D] _ _ And the [F#] glory _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ forever is the sun rolling across the sky. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Amen. _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
