CALYPSO -       John Denver

Intro:
Amaj9 - Bm7/A - Amaj9 - Bm7/A

   Amaj9                                       
To      sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,
                                      Bm7/A       
to ride on the crest of a wild raging       storm
   Amaj9                                       
To       work in the service of life and a living,
                                         Bm7/A    
in search of the answers to questions un-      known
      Amaj9                                     
To be      part of the movement a part of the growing,
                            A11                
part of beginning to under-     stand,

chorus:
D                  A                           
   Aye Calypso the   places you've been to, 
     D                   A                      
the   things that you've   shown us, 
     E            A                            
the   stories you  tell
D                A                             
  Aye Calypso, I  sing to your spirit,
   D              A                            
the  men who have  served you 
   E            A                              
so  long and so  well

      E           D       A                      
Hi dee  ay-ee ooo  doo-dle  o 
     E             D          A

      E           D        A                       
Hi dee  ay-ee ooo  doo-dle  o
        E     AmD      D7sus4

Amaj9 - Bm7/A - Amaj9 - Bm7/A

         Amaj9                                  
Like the       dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
                             Bm7/A               
To light up the darkness and       show us the way
    Amaj9                                      
For       though we are strangers in your silent world
                                          Bm7/A  
To live on the land we must learn from the       sea
      Amaj9                                    
To be       true as the tide and free as a wind swell
                                A11            
Joyful and loving in letting it      be

chorus:
