I Wish I Could Have Been There

G   C   G


G
I wish I could have been there on the highway,
                          C               G
When the people came from miles around to see
    C                                G    C   G
The children of the flowers came together.


G
I wish I could have been there in the sunshine,
                         C               G
With the sound of lovely laughter in the air,
        C                           G    C
And the music makers first began to play.
             G
To hear them play.


      C                                   G
And I wish I could have been there in the rain,
         C                                 G
When the clouds were silver castles in the sky,
      C                                  G
And I wish I could have heard the people sing
       C                                  G - C
As the rhythm and the words came floating by.


  G
I wish I could have been there in the starlight
                         C           G
When the countryside was quiet once again,
        C               G         C                G
And the music and the makers, the poets and the singers,
        C               G               D
And the children of the flowers had all gone,

And I wonder, will I ever return again...

(Words and music by John Denver, 1970)
