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
