Hi folks.
A week ago, there was a request posted for John Denver tunes.
Thinking that songs like Country Roads, Annies's song and Leaving on a
Jet plane are well known, I'll post some other nice tunes.
Here's the first one:

Back Home again           John Denver

             E                E7             A
1) There's a storm across the valley,        clouds are rollin' in
2) He's an   hour away from   ridin' on your prayers up in the sky
       B7                                E
1) the afternoorn is heavy on your shoul-ders.
2) and ten days on the road are barely   gone.
             E                E7             A
1) There's a truck out on the four lane, a   mile or more away
2) There's a fire softly      burning;       supper's on the stove
                B7                                  E
1) the          whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder.
2) but it's the light in your eyes that makes him   warm.

         A                 B7             E7
Chorus:  Hey, it's good to be back home a-gain
         A         B7                 E7                A
         Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
                  B7                            E7
         Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again

3) After all the news to tell him: how's you spend your time?
   And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
   and your mother called last friday; "Sunshine" made her cry
   and you felt the baby move just yesterday.

Chorus
            A                 B7                   E        A
Bridge: And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
            F#m                B7              E    E7
        and feel your fingers feather soft up-on me
            A             B7            E                      A
        the kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
            F#m             A               B7
        the happiness that livin' with you brings me.

4) It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
   it's the little things that make a house a home.
   Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove.
   And the light in your eyes that makes me warm.


Greetings from Germany
