Ancient Rhymes John Denver & Bob Samples (klr) [G] - [D] -[C] - [Am] - [C] - [G] - [D] - [Dsus] - [D]

^G Two days be ^F fore the ^C moon was ^D round ^G You felt the ^Em urge of ^C sun's light ^D beams The ^G muffled ^F world of ^C dolphin ^D sound Slipped ^C down and ^G back ^D into ^D7 your ^G dreams [G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]

For ^G nine full ^F months that ^C passed be ^D fore You ^G learned of ^Em all life's ^C ancient ^D rhymes Then [G] mother [F] sensed A [C] farther [D] shore And ^C brought you ^G forth ^D into ^D7 these ^G times [G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]

So ^Am taste the air of ^D your new world And ^C gently [C/b] guide us ^Am to your ^G mind It ^Am knows the winds and ^D sails un ^G furled And ^C holds to ^G heart ^D the ^D7 dolphin ^G kind [G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret] [G] - [D] - [C] - [Am] -[C] - [G] - [D]

[G] Welcome [F] precious [C] earthmade [D] child

We ^G met you ^Em first in your ^C father's ^D songs And ^G mother's ^F smile and ^C waters ^D wild It's ^C in this ^G place ^D you ^D7 now be ^G long

I ^G know you ^F know of ^C all these ^D things And ^G feel the ^Em faith of a ^C dolphin's ^D sigh For ^G you were ^F born on ^C silver ^D wings To ^C taste the ^G high blown ^D ^D7 crystal ^G sky [G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]

So ^Am sing one day to ^D all of us The ^C songs you [C/b] learned in ^Am dolphin ^G lair Giving ^Am hope to life as ^D all we ^G must And ^C teach us ^G how ^D their ^D7 grace to ^G share [G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret] instrumental 1 verse
