On The Wings Of A Dream
John Denver

INTRO C Am Am7 C Am Am7 G D D7

      G            D          G
Yesterday I had a dream about dying
      Bm        D             G
About laying to rest and then flying
        C         G
How the moment at hand
       D          D7        G     D7
Is the only thing we really own

      G         D         G
And I lay in my bed and I wondered
      Bm           D           G
After all has been said and is done for
C         G           D
Why is it thus we are here
       D7          G
And so soon we are gone

        C           Am          C
Is this life just a path to the place
        Am       Am7  G
That we all have come from
         C              Am
Does the heart know the way
       C          Am   Am7 G
And if not can it ever be  found
     C          Am        C
In a smile or a tear or a prayer
     Am   Am7  G  D  C Am Am7 C Am Am7 G D D7
Or a sigh or a song....

       G         D           G
And if so then I sing for my father
       Bm             D            G
And in truth you must know I would rather
        C          G             D
He were here by my side we could fly
       D7         G     D7
On the wings of a dream

     G               D            G
To a place where the spirit would find us
       Bm         D            G
And in joy and surrender would bind us
       C      G      D          D7           G
We are one anyway anyway we are more than we seem

          C              Am      C
There are those who will lead us protect us
     Am      Am7 G
each step of the way
       C          Am
From beginning to end
         C      Am      Am7  G
For each moment forever each day
       C             Am
Such a gift has been given
       C        Am   Am7 G  D  C Am Am7 C Am Am7 G D D7
It can never be taken  away.....

 G  D  G  Bm  D  G  C  G  D  D7 G  D  D7

           G       D            G
Though the body in passing must leave us
         Bm      D          G
There is one who remains to receive us
          C             G
There are those in this life
        D                D7       G     D7
Who are friends from our heavenly home

     G             D        G
So I listen to the voices inside me
      Bm            D             G
For I know they are there just to guide me
       C              G
And my faith would proclaim it
   D         D7     G
Is so we are never alone

         C           Am
From the life to the light
         C           Am       Am7 G
from the dark of the night to the dawn
      C        Am
He is so in my heart
      C             Am    Am7 G
He is here he could never be  gone
           C         Am
Though the singer is silent
      C            Am       Am7 G  D  C Am Am7 C Am
There still is the truth of the song...
   Am7 G    D  D7
In the song

      G           D           G
Yesterday I had a dream about dying
      Bm        D             G
About laying to rest and then flying
        C         G
How the moment at hand
       D          D7        G   D   D7
Is the only thing we really own

      G         D         G
And I lay in my bed and I wondered
      Bm           D           G
After all has been said and is done for
C         G           D
Why is it thus we are here
       D7          G
And so soon we are gone
   C         G           D
Oh why is it thus we are here
       D7          G
And so soon we are gone
