Chords for The Chad Mitchell Trio - Four Strong Winds/The Mitchell Trio with John Denver - For Bobbie

_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [N] In a few hours, this hall will be full, sold out over three months ago.
We're in Spirit Square's performance place in Charlotte, North Carolina.
And that's a good name for it because the spirit of folk music will be very much alive here tonight.
I'm John Denver, and welcome to Mighty Day.
Tonight, the original Chad Mitchell Trio will reunite on stage for television for the first
time in 21 years.
It's folk music history in the making, and I'm delighted to be a part of it.
And you are back tuning up, and I get up on stage and I said, you know, I'm Joe Frazier
of the Chad Mitchell Trio, and a lot of you know Chad's leaving our group, he went on
to a solo career, and I want you to meet tonight for the first time the person who's going
to replace Chad in the Chad Mitchell Trio.
So would everybody please welcome Bob Denver.
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] Now you may wonder, what's John Denver got to do with the Chad Mitchell Trio?
Well, back in 1965, when Chad left the trio to pursue a solo career, I became the third
trio member, joining Joe and Mike as a young [Bm] singer in what had [E] become the Mitchell Trio.
I [Bm] remember those early days with a very special [Gb] fondness, because from my experiences [Db] with
the trio, I developed a sense of social and political awareness that I'd never [Db] had before.
And out of that legacy came many of the ideas for songs [Bm] that I'm still writing today.

[Eb] strong winds that [Fm] blow, for seven [Bb] seas that run [Eb] high, for those things that [Fm] don't
change come [Bb] what may.

_ _ _ [Eb] I'll go out to [Fm] Alberta, _ _ [Bb] weather's good there in [Eb] the fall.
Got some friends that I can [Ab] go to work [Bb] and for. _ _ _ _
[Eb] Yet I wish you'd change your [Fm] mind _ [Bb] if I asked you one more [Eb] time.
But [Ab] we've been through that [Cm] a hundred times.

[Eb] If I get there for [Fm] the snowflights, _ [Bb] and if things are [Eb] looking good, [Bb] you [Eb] could meet me
if [Fm] I sent you down [Bb] the fair. _ _ _
But [Eb] by then it would be [Fm] winter, [Bb] not June.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _

_ [G] may.
As a matter of fact, I moved out of the group at one time, and when I left, there was a
young kid from Texas no one had ever heard of before, and he took my place.
I didn't really follow his career too closely, they say he did pretty well.
[Ab] _ And so we sort of thought that you ought to have certainly a taste of what the trio was
like in its second incarnation.
So if I might, I would like to bring to the stage and introduce to you _ a reasonably unknown
personality whose name is Mr.
John Denver.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you very much. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Chad will never know how grateful I am to him for leaving.
_ [Gb] _ Not now, those years ago. _
When I joined the trio, it was a great, great opportunity for me.
And one of the things it allowed me to do was to further my songwriting.
And this is about the third song that I ever wrote, the first one that was ever recorded.
And it was my privilege to sing it with these gentlemen.
We'd like to do it for you tonight.
It's called For Bobby.
