Words and Lyrics John Denver 1977
[Verse 1]
C
Ridin' on a tradewind
F
Fillin' my sails with a soft and southerly breeze
C
Livin' on the ocean blue
[Verse 2]
C
Dreaming' of the islands
F
Rappin' myself in the glow of a tropical moon
C
I never shiver when the sun goes down
[Chorus]
G7
All the Earth she sings to me
G7
Every shallow, every tree
G7 C
Surely my loves shining like the sea
[Verse 3]

I can make you happy
F
If I can I'll take you away on a wave in my arms
C
Never leave you on the edge all alone
[Verse 4]

If you feel like dancin'
F
Rollin' like the water across my sleepless night
C
Makin me a peaceful place
[Chorus]

All my life to be with you

All I ever want to do

Knowing you are feeling that way too
[Interlude]

Distant thunder, heavy seas

Surely I was lost till I found these
