Poems Prayers (A)nd Promises chords Guitar Chords By John Denver

(E) (A)

I’ve been lately thinking
(A)bout my life’s time
(A)ll the things I’ve done
(A)nd how it’s been
(A)nd I can’t help believing
In my own mind
I know I’m gonna hate to see it end

I’ve seen a lot of sunshine
Slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I’ve known my lady’s pleasures
Had myself some friends
(A)nd spent a night or two in my own home

(A) B7

(A)nd I have to say it now
(E) (A) (F#m)
It’s been a good life all in all
(E) (C#m) B7 (A) x2
It’s really fine
To have a chance to hang around
(A)nd lie there by the fire
(A)nd watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around

(A) Gm (A) (E)
(A)nd talk of poems and prayers and promises
(A)nd things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it’s been since yesterday
(A)nd what about tomorrow
(A)nd what about our dreams
(A) B7 (E) (A) (E)
(A)nd all the memories we share

The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long
(A)nd time around me whispers when it’s cold
The changes somehow frighten me
Still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
For though my life’s been good to me
There’s still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I’d like to raise a family
I’d like to sail away
(A)nd dance across the mountains on the moon

I have to say it now
It’s been a good life all in all
It’s really fine
To have the chance to hang around
(A)nd lie there by the fire
(A)nd watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and watch the sun go down

(A)nd talk of poems and prayers and promises
(A)nd things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it’s been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
(A)nd all the memories we share
