John Denver

^G Two days be ^F fore the ^C moon was ^D round
^G You felt the ^Em urge of ^C sun's light ^D beams
The ^G muffled ^F world of ^C dolphin ^D sound
Slipped ^C down and ^G back ^D into ^D7 your ^G dreams
^{G 8tb fret} - ^{G 7tb fret} - ^{G 5tb fret}
For ^G nine full ^F months that ^C passed be ^D fore
You ^G learned of ^Em all life's ^C ancient ^D rhymes
Then ^G mother ^F sensed a ^C farther ^D shore
And ^C brought you ^G forth ^D into ^D7 these ^G times
^{G 8tb fret} - ^{G 7tb fret} - ^{G 5tb fret}
So ^Am taste the air of ^D your new world
And ^C gently ^C/b guide us ^Am to your ^G mind
It ^Am knows the winds and ^D sails un ^G furled
And ^C holds to ^G heart ^D the ^D7 dolphin ^G kind
^{G 8tb fret} - ^{G 7tb fret} - <sup>G 5tb fret

G</sup> Welcome ^F precious ^C earthmade ^D child
We ^G met you ^Em first in your ^C father's ^D songs
And ^G mother's ^F smile and ^C waters ^D wild
It's ^C in this ^G place ^D you ^D7 now be ^G long
I ^G know you ^F know of ^C all these ^D things
And ^G feel the ^Em faith of a ^C dolphin's ^D sigh
For ^G you were ^F born on ^C silver ^D wings
To ^C taste the ^G high blown ^{D D7} crystal ^G sky
^{G 8tb fret} - ^{G 7tb fret} - ^{G 5tb fret}
So ^Am sing one day to ^D all of us
The ^C songs you ^C/b learned in ^Am dolphin ^G lair
Giving ^Am hope to life as ^D all we ^G must
And ^C teach us ^G how ^D their ^D7 grace to ^G share
^{G 8tb fret} - ^{G 7tb fret} - ^{G 5tb fret}
