JOHN DENVER
ANNIE'S SONG
G C D Em C G
You fill up my senses, like a night in the forest.
G C D Am C D
Like a mountain in springtime, like a walk in the rain.
G C D Em C G
Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
G C D Am D G
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
G C D Em C G
Come let me love you, let me give my life for you.
G C D Am C D
Let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms.
G C D Em C G
Let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you.
G C D Am D G
Come let me love you, come love me again.
G C D Em C G
You fill up my senses, like a night in the forest.
G C D Am C D
Like a mountain in spring time, like a walk in the rain.
G C D Em C G
Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
G C D Am D G
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

Back home again John Denver
D D7 G
There's a storm across the valley clouds are rollin' in
A7 D
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
D7 G
there's a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away
A7 D
the whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder
D D7 G
2. He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky
3. After all the news to tell him, how'd you spent your time?
4. It's the sweetest thing I know of just spendin' time with you
A7 D
2. and ten days on the road are barely gone,
3. and what's the latest thing the neighbor say?
4. It's the little things that make a house a home.
D7 G
2. there's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove
3. and your mother called last friday? 'Sunshine' made her cry
4. Like a fire softly burning, supper on the stove
A7 D
2. and there's a light in your eyes that makes him warm
3. and you felt the baby move just yester-day.
4. and a light in your eyes that makes me warm
G A7 D D7
R: Hey, it's good to be back home again
G A7 D G
sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend.
A7 D
Yes and hey, it's good to be back home again.
D7 G A7 D G
B: And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
e A7 D D7
and feel your finger feather soft upon me.
G A7 D G
The kisses that I live for the love that lights my way
e G A7
the happiness that living with you brings me.
