I was saddened by the recent loss of John Denver and the songs that
will never be. This selection is a song by John for his daughter. I
hope you all enjoy it.
Whispering Jesse
John Denver (klr)
I often had wandered, in deep contemplation
It seems that the mind runs wild when you?re all alone
The way that it could be, the ways that it should be
[G] [A] [D]-[A]-[G] [A] [D]
Things I?d do differently, if I could do them again
I?ve always loved springtime, the passing of winter
-
The green of the new leaves and life goin? on
The promise of morning, the long days of summer
[G] [A] [D] [A]-[G] [A] [D]
Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars
I?m just an old cowboy, from high Colorado
-
To old to ride anymore, too blind to see
[G] [D] [G]-[A] [D]
I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains
[G] -[A] [D]-[A]-[G] [A] [D]
Away from the cabin we always called home
I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino
--
Whispering Jesse rode right by my side
I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing
[G] [A] [D]-[A]-[G] [A] [D]
The touch of her cool hand, on my fevered brow
- - - - - - - -
[A] [D]-[A]-[G] [A] [D]
Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains
Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart
