John Denver - Poems, Prayers And Promises


(verse 1)
D 	  	  	  	      G/A  -  D
I've been laid to thinking about my lifetime,
         G/A
All the things I've done and how it's been,
    D 	  	  	      G/A   D
And I can't help believin' in my own mind,
           G/A
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end,


(verse 2)
D 	  	  	  	   G/A         D
I've seen alot of sunshine, slept out in the rain.
        G/A
Spent a night or two all on my own,
D 	  	  	  	      G/A           D
I've known my lady's pleasures, had myself some friends,
        G/A
Spent a time or two in my own home,


(chorus)
G              A7             D               G
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all,
             D              Bm              Em
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around,
A7     G                A7 	     D             G
And lie there by the fire, and watch the evenin' tire,
                D 	  	       Bm           Em7        A7
while all my friends and my old lady, sit and pass the pipe around,
             G                     Fm      G            D
And talk of poems and prayers and promises, and things that we believe in,
           Dmaj7            G              A 	     G
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care,
               Fmaj7                 Em           D
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow,
                    Dmaj7                G           A   D - G - D
And what about our dreams, and all the memories we share,


(verse 3)
D 	  	  	  	            G/A         D
The days, they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long,
      G/A
Time around me whispers when it's cold,
          D                           G/A      D
Changes some how frighten me, still I have to smile,
    G/A
It turns me on to think of growing old,


(verse 4)
D 	  	  	  	                   G/A        D
For tho' my life's been good to me, there's still so much to do,
     G/A
So many things my mind has never known,
          D                           G/A      D
I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away,
     G/A
And dance across the mountains on the moon,


(chorus)
G              A7             D               G
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all,
             D              Bm              Em
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around,
A7     G                A7 	     D             G
And lie there by the fire, and watch the evenin' tire,
                D 	  	       Bm           Em7        A7
while all my friends and my old lady, sit and pass the pipe around,
             G                     Fm      G            D
And talk of poems and prayers and promises, and things that we believe in,
           Dmaj7            G              A 	     G
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care,
               Fmaj7                 Em           D
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow,
                    Dmaj7                G           A   D - G - D
And what about our dreams, and all the memories we share,
