D
G A Bm G D G
I often have wandered in deep contemplation;
A Bm A G A - Asus4 - A
It seems that the mind runs wild when you're all alone.
G D G A D G
The way that it could be; the way that it should be;
A Bm A G A D
Things I'd do differently if I could do them again.
G A Bm G D G
I've always loved springtime, the passing of winter;
A Bm A G A - Asus4 - A
The green of the new leaves and life goin' on.
G D G A D G
The promise of morning, the long days of summer;
A Bm A G A D
Warm nights of lo-ving her beneath the bright stars.
G A Bm G D G
I'm just an old cowboy from high Colorado;
A Bm - A G A - Asus4 - A
Too old to ride anymore; too blind to see.
G D G A D G
I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains;
A Bm A G A D D - G
Away from the ca-bin we always called home.
A D G A D G
I dreamed I left there on an old palomino;
A Bm A G A - Asus4 - A
Whispering Jesse rode right by my side.
G D G A D G
I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing;
A Bm A G A D
The touch of her cool hands on my fevered brow.
D - G - A - D D - G - A - D
D - G - A - Bm - G - A - Asus4 - A
D G A D G
Whispering Jesse still rides in the mountains,
A D G A D
Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart.
(Words and music by John Denver, 1988)
