John Denver

there are c ^G hildren raised in sorrow
On a sc ^E orched and barren plain
There are c ^C hildren raised be ^Am neath a golden sun ^G
D7 There are c ^G hildren of the water
C ^Em hildren of the sand
And they c ^C ry out through the u ^Am niverse
Their vo ^E ices raised as ^D one ^Dsus4
D I want to ^G live i want to g ^Gmaj7 row
I want to ^C see i want to k ^Cadd9 now
I want to sh ^F are what i can gi ^C ve
I want to ^D be i want to li ^G ve
Have you ^G gazed out on the ocean
Seen the br ^Em eaching of a whale?
Have you wa ^C tched the dolphins ^Am frolic in the foam? ^G
D7 Have you hea ^G rd the song the humpback hears five h ^Em undred miles away
Telling t ^C ales of ancient h ^Am istory of p ^E assages and home?
(chorus)
For the wo ^Am rker and the warrior the l ^Em over and the liar
For the na ^Em tive and the wa ^Am nderer in ki ^G nd
For the m ^Am aker and the user and the mo ^Em ther and her son
I am loo ^Em king for my f ^Am amily and a ^E ll of you are m ^D7 ine
We are s ^G tanding all together
Face to ^Em face and arm in arm
We are s ^C tanding on the t ^Am hreshold of a dream ^G
D7 No more hu ^G nger no more killing
No more was ^Em ting life away
It is si ^G mply an i ^Am dea
And i kn ^E ow its time has c ^D ome
Chorus
