John Denver – Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life chords

JOHN DENVER
TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE
RHYMES AND REASONS (1969)

G Today is the first day
       C of the rest of my life
  Am I wake as a child 
           Em to see the world again
 
on monarch wings

    Am            Em and birthday wonderings 
        D want to put on faces
 Am         A7      D walk in the wet and cold 
          G         Bm        Em and look forward to my growing old
   D to grow is to change 
   Em to change is to be new
     Am to be new is to be young again
  C               D I barely remember when
   Em            Am           Em my memories are stolen by the morning
 Em Am Em blotted out by the sun's hypnotic eye

Em   D 
 
 G Today is the first day
        C of the rest of my life
  Am I wake as a child
            Em to see the world begin on monarch wings
     Am          Em and birthday wonderings
        D want to put on faces
 Am         A7      D walk in the wet and cold
          G          Bm        Em and look forward to my growing old
