Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life chords by John Denver

JOHN DENVER
TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE
RHYMES AND REASONS (1969)

G
Today is the first day
       C
of the rest of my life
  Am
I wake as a child
           Em
to see the world again

on monarch wings
    Am            Em
and birthday wonderings
        D
want to put on faces
 Am         A7      D
walk in the wet and cold
          G         Bm        Em
and look forward to my growing old
   D
to grow is to change
   Em
to change is to be new
     Am
to be new is to be young again
  C               D
I barely remember when
   Em            Am           Em
my memories are stolen by the morning
 Em Am Em
blotted out by the sun's hypnotic eye

Em   D

 G
Today is the first day
        C
of the rest of my life
  Am
I wake as a child
            Em
to see the world begin on monarch wings
     Am          Em
and birthday wonderings
        D
want to put on faces
 Am         A7      D
walk in the wet and cold
          G          Bm        Em
and look forward to my growing old
