Poems, Prayers And Promises By John Denver

	D	G/A	-	D
	I've been laid to thinking about my l	ifeti	me,

	G/A
All the t	hings I've done and how it's been,

	D	G/A	D
And	I can't help believin' in	my ow	n 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 r	ain.

	G/A
Spent a	night or two all on my own,

	D	G/A	D
	I've known my lady's pleasures, had m	yself some fri	ends,

	G/A
Spent a	time or two in my own home,

(chorus)

	G	A7	D	G
	And I have to s	ay it now, it's	been a good lif	e all in all,

	D	Bm	Em
It's really f	ine to have a c	hance to hang ar	ound,

	A7	G	A7	D	G
	And lie	there by the fir	e, and watch	the evenin' t	ire,

	D	Bm	Em7	A7
while all my fri	ends and my old lady,	sit and pass	the pipe ar	ound,

	G	Fm	G	D
And talk of p	oems and prayers and p	romises,	and things t	hat we believe in,

	Dmaj7	G	A	G
How sweet i	t is to love some	one, how right	it is to	care,

	Fmaj7	Em	D
How long it's b	een since yesterday, w	hat about tom	orrow,

	Dmaj7	G	A	D	-	G	-	D
And what about our d	reams, and all the me	mories we sh	are,

(verse 3)

	D			G/A	D
	The days, they pass so quickly now, nights			are seldom l	ong,
		G/A
Time a		round me whispers when it's cold,

	D	G/A	D
Changes so	me how frighten me, still I	have to s	mile,

	G/A
It t	urns 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 ma	ny things my mind has never known,

	D	G/A	D
I'd like t	o raise a family, I'd like t	o sail aw	ay,

	G/A
And d	ance across the mountains on the moon,

(chorus)

	G	A7	D	G
	And I have to s	ay it now, it's	been a good lif	e all in all,

	D	Bm	Em
It's really f	ine to have a c	hance to hang ar	ound,

	A7	G	A7	D	G
	And lie	there by the fir	e, and watch	the evenin' t	ire,

	D	Bm	Em7	A7
while all my fri	ends and my old lady,	sit and pass	the pipe ar	ound,

	G	Fm	G	D
And talk of p	oems and prayers and p	romises,	and things t	hat we believe in,

	Dmaj7	G	A	G
How sweet i	t is to love some	one, how right	it is to	care,

	Fmaj7	Em	D
How long it's b	een since yesterday, w	hat about tom	orrow,

	Dmaj7	G	A	D	-	G	-	D
And what about our d	reams, and all the me	mories we sh	are,
