JOHN DENVER
01-ANNIE’S SONG – Re M
John Denver
You fill up my senses
like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
come fill me again
Come let me love you
let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
let me die in your arms
02-TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS – La M
John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads
03-SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS – C1 La M
John Denver
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine almost always
04-LIVING ON A JET PLANE – Sol M
John Denver
All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go.
I'm standing here
Outside your door.
I hate to wake you up,
Just to say goodbye.
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you
Ev'ry song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Kiss me and a smile for me,
Darling tell me that your wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never, never let me go.
I'm living on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh babe, I hate to go.05-ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH – Mi M
John Denver
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him,
you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains
his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken
and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast
and it don't last for long
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight
is softer than a lullabye…
Rocky mountain high
(Colorado)
Rocky mountain high
(high in Colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains,
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy
once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude
the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself
to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply…
Rocky mountain high
(high in Colorado)
Rocky mountain high
(high in Colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder
but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains
More people, more scars upon the land
And the Colorado rocky mountain high…
