John Denver

^G It's five o' cl ^D ock this ^G morning and the ^C sun is on the ^G rise
There's frosting on ^D the wi ^G ndow pane and s ^C arrow in your e ^D7 yes
^G The stars are f ^D ading q ^G uietly, ^C night is nearly ^G gone
And so you ^D turn ^G away from me and ^C tears begin to ^D come...
CHORUS
^Am It's goodbye ^D again, I'm ^G sorry ^D to be ^G leavin' you
^Am Goodbye a ^D gain, in ^G case you ^D didn't ^G know
It's ^Am goodbye ^D again, and I ^G wish ^D you ^G could tell me
Why d ^C o we always ^Am fight when I have to ^D go?
Verse 2
It seems a shame to leave you now you lay so soft and warm
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back your smile
But other voices beakon me and for a little while...
CHORUS
Bridge
I have to ^G go and see some ^C friends of mine.
^G Some that ^D I don't ^G know, ^C some who aren't ^Am familiar with my ^E na ^E7 me. ^{Am Am7}
It's ^C something that's ^Am inside of me, not ^G hard to ^D under ^G stand.
It's just ^C anyone who'll ^Cmaj7 listen to me ^D7 sing.
CHORUS
Verse 3
So if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame?
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same?
And as it is the time we have, is worth the time alone.
But lying by your side's the greatest peace I've ever known.
CHORUS
