Rhymes and Reasons - Lyrics - John Denver Chords

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