Ancient Rhymes
John Denver & Bob Samples (klr)
- - - - - - - -
Two days be fore the moon was round
You felt the urge of sun's light beams
The muffled world of dolphin sound
Slipped down and back into your dreams
[G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]
For nine full months that passed be fore
You learned of all life's ancient rhymes
Then mother sensed a farther shore
And brought you forth into these times
[G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]
So taste the air of your new world
And gently [C/b] guide us to your mind
It knows the winds and sails un furled
And holds to heart the dolphin kind
[G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]
- - - - - -
Welcome precious earthmade child
We met you first in your father's songs
And mother's smile and waters wild
It's in this place you now be long
I know you know of all these things
And feel the faith of a dolphin's sigh
For you were born on silver wings
To taste the high blown crystal sky
[G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]
So sing one day to all of us
The songs you [C/b] learned in dolphin lair
Giving hope to life as all we must
And teach us how their grace to share
[G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]
