Rhymes and Reasons - John Denver
Tabbed by: YeovLittlefaith
Capo I
EAEBE
(Intro: )
E B A E
So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter,
C#m G#m A B
fear that is within' you know that seems to never end,
E B
and the dreams that have escaped you
A E
and the hope that you've forgotten
C#m E B
and you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend
A
and you wonder where we're going,
E B
where's the rhyme and where's the reason
C#m E B
and it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin
F#m
to seek the wisdom of the children
E A B
and the graceful way of flowers in the wind.
Chorus:
E B A E
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,
C#m G#m A B
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
E B A E
Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow
C#m E
they're a promise of the future
B E
and the blessing for today.
E B A E
Though the city starts to crumble and the towers fall around us
C#m G#m A B
the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea
E B A E
it is written: From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us
C#m E B
by the hand and by the heart and they will comfort you and me.
A E B
In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free.
Chorus 2:
E B A E
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,
C#m G#m A B
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
E A B E
And the song that I am singing is a prayer for non-believers
C#m E B A E
come and stand beside us, we can find a better way.
