Chords for John Denver - Poems, Prayers and Promises (from The Wildlife Concert)

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ I've been [G] lately thinking [D] _ [G] about my lifestyle.
[D] _ _ .
All the things I've done, [G] how it's been.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] I can't help believing [G] in my [D] own mind.
I [G] know I'm [D] gonna hate to [G] see it end.
_ _ _ _ [D].
Seen a lot of sunshine, _ [G] slept out in [D] the rain.
_ Spent a night or two all on [G] my own _ _ _ .
I've [D] known my lady's pleasures, _ .
[G] had myself some [D] friends.
_ Spent [G] a [D] night or two in [G] my own _ home.
_ _ I have to say it [A] now, _ [D] it's been a good life all [G] in all.
It's [D] really fine to [Bm] have a chance to [Em] hang around.
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] Lie there by the [A] fire [D] and watch the [G] evening tire.
While all [D] my friends and my [Bm] old lady [Em] sit and pass the pipe [A] around.
_ _ Talk [G] of poems and prayers [F#m] and promises.
[Em] And things that we [D].
believe in.
How sweet it is to love someone.
[G] How right it is to [A] care.
[G] How long it's been [F#] since yesterday.
[F#m] _ [Em] _ .
What about [D] tomorrow, _ _ what about our dreams.
[Em] And all the memories [A] we share.
The _ [D] _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ days they pass so quickly now.
[G] The nights are seldom [D].
long.
_ Time around me whispers [G] when it's cold.
The _ _ .
[D] changes somehow frighten me.
_ [G].
Still I have [D] to smile.
It turns me on to think of [G] growing _ old.
_ _ [D] Though my life's been good to me, [G] there's still so [D] much to do _ .
So many things my mind has [G] never known.
_ _ _ _ [D] I'd like to raise a family, _ _ [G] I'd like to sail [D] away.
_ And dance across the mountains on [G] a boat.
_ _ I _ have to say it [A] now, it's [D] been a good life all [G] in all.
[D] It's really fine to have a [Bm] chance to hang [Em] around _ _ .
[A] Lie _ [G] _ there by [A] the fire [D] and watch the evening [G] tire.
While [D] all my friends and my old [Bm] lady _ [Em] sit and watch the sun [A] go down _ _ .
Talk [G] of poems and prayers [F#m] and promises.
[Em] And _ things that [D] we believe in _ .
How sweet it is to love someone.
[G] How right it is to [A] care.
_ [G] How long it's been [F#m] since yesterday.
_ _ [Em] _ What about [D] tomorrow, _ _ what about our dreams.
[Em] And all the memories [A] we share.
