John Denver
D  Em  A  A7sus4
In a spDaceship over the mountains
chasing Em7rainbows in Gthe setting sDun

I Em7feel my life is undAone
There are pDathways winding below me
In pEm7leasure I've gGone where they Dgo
In the quGiet sEm7tillness, DI can hear Bmsymphonies,
the Em7loveliest music I knAow
(Chorus)
Em7How can I lAeave you agDain?Bm  
I Em7must be clear oAut of my F#m7mindBm  
Em7Lost in a F#mstorm I've gone blGind
Oh, Em7how can I lAeave you agDain?
(Bridge)
Oh, it's Em7been a long time since I've lDistened
still Em7longer since I've walked with yDou
For the fEm7irst time I know what I'm mDissing
Some Emanswers are no lConger tArueA7sus..... so I

quDestion the course that I follow
I'm Em7doubtful, dGeep in despDair
My hGeart is Em7filled with impDossible Bmnotions
Can it Em7be you no longer cAare?
Still I rDide on the wings of a high wind
blowing sEm7teady and stGrong behDind me
As the clGouds surEm7render, my fDate is for Bmcertain --
I'm a Em7sailor who runs to the sAea... but    (to chorus)

HOW CAN I LEAVE YOU AGAIN?

John Denver

D Em A A7sus4

In a spaceship over the mountains

Em7 G D

chasing rainbows in the setting sun

G Em7 D Bm

leaving heart and home for the city of angels

Em7 A

I feel my life is undone

There are pathways winding below me

Em7 G D

In pleasure I've gone where they go

In the quiet stillness, I can hear symphonies,

Em7 A

the loveliest music I know

(Chorus)

Em7 A D Bm

How can I leave you again?

Em7 A F#m7 Bm

I must be clear out of my mind

Em7 F#m G

Lost in a storm I've gone blind

Em7 A D

Oh, how can I leave you again?

(Bridge)

Em7 D

Oh, it's been a long time since I've listened

Em7 D

still longer since I've walked with you

Em7 D

For the first time I know what I'm missing

Em C A A7sus

Some answers are no longer true..... so I

(Verse 2)

question the course that I follow

Em7 G D

I'm doubtful, deep in despair

G Em7 D Bm

My heart is filled with impossible notions

Em7 A

Can it be you no longer care?

Still I ride on the wings of a high wind

Em7 G D

blowing steady and strong behind me

G Em7 D Bm

As the clouds surrender, my fate is for certain --

Em7 A

I'm a sailor who runs to the sea... but (to chorus)
