I was saddened by the recent loss of John Denver and the songs that

will never be. This selection is a song by John for his daughter. I

hope you all enjoy it.

Whispering Jesse

John Denver (klr)

D G A Bm G D

I often had wandered, in deep contemplation

G A D A G Bm A

It seems that the mind runs wild when you?re all alone

G D G A D

The way that it could be, the ways that it should be

G A D-A-G A D

Things I?d do differently, if I could do them again

D G A Bm G D

I?ve always loved springtime, the passing of winter

G A D A-G Bm A

The green of the new leaves and life goin? on

G D G A D

The promise of morning, the long days of summer

G A D A-G A D

Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars

D G A Bm G D

I?m just an old cowboy, from high Colorado

G A D A-G Bm A

To old to ride anymore, too blind to see

G D G-A D

I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains

G -A D-A-G A D

Away from the cabin we always called home

D G D G A D

I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino

G A D-A-G Bm A

Whispering Jesse rode right by my side

G D G A D

I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing

G A D-A-G A D

The touch of her cool hand, on my fevered brow

G - A - D G - A - D G - A - Bm - G - A

A D-A-G A D

Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains

G A D G A D

Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart
