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)
C F G Am F C I often had wandered, in deep contemplation F G C G F Am G It seems that the mind runs wild when you?re all alone F C F G C The way that it could be, the ways that it should be F G C-G-F G C Things I?d do differently, if I could do them again C F G Am F C I?ve always loved springtime, the passing of winter F G C G-F Am G The green of the new leaves and life goin? on F C F G C The promise of morning, the long days of summer F G C G-F G C Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars C F G Am F C I?m just an old cowboy, from high Colorado F G C G-F Am G To old to ride anymore, too blind to see F C F-G C I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains F -G C-G-F G C Away from the cabin we always called home C F C F G C I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino F G C-G-F Am G Whispering Jesse rode right by my side F C F G C I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing F G C-G-F G C The touch of her cool hand, on my fevered brow
F - G - C F - G - C F - G - Am - F - G
G C-G-F G C Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains F G C F G C Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart
