Rocky Mountain Suite – John Denver
D G A
Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
D C A
Two men, four ponies on a long lonesome ride.
D G A
To see the high country and learn of its people,
D C A
The ways that they lived there, the ways that they died.
D G A
And one is a teacher, and one a beginner,
D C A
Just wanting to be there, just wanting to know.
D G A
And together they’re trying to tell us a story
D C A
That should have been listened to long, long ago.
G D
How the life in the mountains is living in danger
C G Em A
From too many people, too many machines.
G D
And the time is upon us, now is forever,
C G Em A A7
Tomorrow is just one of yesterday’s dreams.
D A
Cold nights in Canada, icy blue winds.
A7 D
The man and the mountains are brothers again.
A A7
Clear waters are laughing, they sing to the sky.
A D A
The Rockies are living, they never will die.
