John Denver - Calypso

A
to sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean ,
A7 D6
to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
A
to work in the service of life and living ,
A7 D6
in search of the answers of questions unknown
A
to be part of the movement an part of the growing ,
A7
part of beginning to unserstand ,

[ chorus ]

D A

D A

D A E A
the men who have served you so long and so well

A
like the dolphin who guides you , you bring us beside you
A7 D6
to light up the darkness and show us the way
A
for though we are strangers in your silent world
A7 D6
to live on the land we must learn from the sea
A
to be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
A7
joyful and loving in letting it be
