Calypso by John Denver
Calypso
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
A A6 Amaj7
To sail on a dream of a crystal clear ocean, to ride on the crest of a
Bm/A A A6 Amaj7
wild raging storm. To work in the service of life and the living in search
A Bm/A A A6
of the answers to questions unknown. To be part of the movement and part
Amaj7 A Em7/A
of the growing part of beginning to under stand.
[Chorus]
D A D A E
Aye calypso the places youve been to the things you show us the stories you
A D A D A
tell. Aye calypso i sing to your spirit the men who have served you so
E A E D A E D A E D A
long and so well.
[Verse 2]
A A6 Amaj7
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you to light up the
A Bm/A A A6
darkness and show us the way. For though we are strangers in your silent
Amaj7 A Bm/A A
world to live on the land you must learn from the sea. To be true as the
A6 Amaj7 A Em7/A
tide and free as a wind-swell joyful and loving in letting it be.
[Chorus] (x2)
D A D A E
Aye calypso the places youve been to the things you show us the stories you
A D A D A
tell. Aye calypso i sing to your spirit the men who have served you so
E A E D A E D A E D A
long and so well.
