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
