Isabel chords by John Denver

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Em Am C G

Verse 1:
G          Gadd4
Isabel is waiting
     C             G
In a room of many shadows
    Em                 Am
Her eyes like flashing diamonds
        C                 G
Shining brightly from the sea
    G              Gadd4
Her hair in silken tresses
       C               G
Like a robe around her shoulders
       Em             Am
Hiding tantalising treasures
         C             G    G
That the sun has never seen

Verse 2:
G          Gadd4
Isabel is watching
       C                 G
Like a princess from the mountains
        Em                  Am
For the first soft snows of winter
        C              G
And the icy winds they bring
       G               Gadd4
With a whisper of her sadness
       C              G
In the passing of the summer
    Em                Am
Her crown is wild red roses
       C              G
With a lace of forest green

Chorus:
        Bb              D                G
And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs
        Bb            D                G
And she sing to me in silence with her eyes
        Em           A               D  C Bm Bb A A
And her hair upon my pillow comforts me

Verse 3:
G         Gadd4
Isabel is weeping
        C                G
And her eyes are full of wonder
    Em                  Am
She knows that it's the time for her
        C            G
And she cannot understand
G                       Gadd4
She's a mistress of the moonlight
       C              G
To the stars she is a sister
        Em           Am
And the morning now awaits her
      C             G
To betray her once again

Chorus:
        Bb              D            G
And she whispers as she sadly slips away
         Bb                     D               G
Then she smiles because there's nothing left to say
        Em                 A               D
And she takes with her the sadness and the sun

Outro:
C Bm Bb A A
