Ancient Rhymes
John Denver & Bob Samples (klr)
[[G]] - [[D]] -[[C]] - [[Am]] - [[C]] - [[G]] - [[D]] - [[Dsus]] - [[D]]
[[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] 8th fret] - [[G] 7th fret] - [[G] 5th 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] 8th fret] - [[G] 7th fret] - [[G] 5th 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] 8th fret] - [[G] 7th fret] - [[G] 5th fret]
[[G]] - [[D]] - [[C]] - [[Am]] -[[C]] - [[G]] - [[D]]
[[G]] 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] 8th fret] - [[G] 7th fret] - [[G] 5th 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] 8th fret] - [[G] 7th fret] - [[G] 5th fret]
