Words & Music by John Denver

G
Almost exactly a year ago
        C                       G
I came here for the very first time
        C                  G
Looking up at the Spanish window
         Am                       D7
From a trail on the edge of the timberline
          G 
I've been off on a journey to find myself
       C                G
Maybe find my way back home
      C                G
Been many an hour all by myself
        Am
In the darkest of nights
       D    D7     G     C   D
I was never ever alone

 G
Back into the San Juan Mountains again
      C                       G
On a ride with some good old boys
          C               G
Telling stories around a campfire
     Am                       D7
The sound of laughter is the loudest noise
  G
There's something in a night in the wilderness
        C                G
It's a magical thing to me
           C                        G
Like the sky is just a little bit brighter
          Am            D               D7         G   C   D   G
And your life is everything that you'd like it to be

              C                   G
There'll be snow on the passes tomorrow
         C               D           G        
You can feel it in the chill of the wind
         Em                    G
Let the rain wash away all my sorrow
   C                      D              D7     G    C   D
Today is the day that my life starts all over again

   G
I guess that it's  just about over now
C                       G
Everything's about to change
C                         G
Everything's a brand new number, darlin'
Am                        D7
Everything's a brand new game
          G
And it's funny I could even call you that
      C                          G
After all the pain we've been through
         C                     G
Ah, but time is the master of healing
 Am                   D      D7           G   C   D
Love is the master of everything that we do

              C                   G
There'll be snow on the passes tomorrow
         C               D           G        
You can feel it in the chill of the wind
         Em                    G
Let the rain wash away all my sorrow
   C                      D              D7     G    C   D   G   C D G
Today is the day that my life starts all over again
