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
