Song For The Life
Words and Music by Rodney Crowell
Sung by John Denver
on Autograph (1980)
G Bm Em G7
I don't drink as much as I used to.
C D G D
Lately it just ain't my style.
G Bm Em G7
And hard times don't hurt like they ought to.
C D G G7
They pass quicker like when I's a child.
C D G G7
Somehow I've learned how to listen.
C D Em G7
For a sound like the sun goin' down.
C D G C
In the magic the morning is bringing.
G Bm Em C
There's a song for the life I have found.
D G D
It keeps my feet on the ground.
G Bm Em G7
Don't the midsummer days sit so heavy.
C D G D
But don't they flow like a breeze through your mind.
G Bm Em G7
And nothin' occurs in a hurry.
C D G G7
To make up for someone's lost time.
C D G G7
Somehow I've learned how to listen.
C D Em G7
For a sound like the sun goin' down.
C D G C
In the magic the morning is bringing.
G Bm Em C
There's a song for a friend I have found.
D G D
She keeps my feet on the ground.
C D G
Somehow I've learned how to listen.
C D Em G7
For a sound like the breeze dyin' down.
C D G C
In the magic the morning is bringing.
G Bm Em C
There's a song for the life I have found.
D G D
Keeps my feet on the ground.
D G D
Oh yeah, that keeps my feet on the ground.
