Calypso
John Denver
A A6
To sail on a dream, on a crystal blue ocean,
A7 A Bm/A
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm,
A A6
To work in the service of life and the living,
A7 A Bm/A
In search of the answers to questions unknown --
A A6
To be part of the movement and part of the growing,
Amaj7 A Em7/A
Part of the beginning to understand --

D A
Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
D A E A
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell!
D A
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
D A E7 A
The men who have served you so long and so well
E D A
Hi - dee-- ay -- ee -- ooo
E D A E D A
Do-dle-oh-ooo do do do do do do-dle ay-ee
E Dsus4 D A(add B) A D/A A(add B) D/A
Do-dle-ay-ee
A A7
Like the dolphins to guide you, you bring us beside you
A7 A Bm/A
To light up the darkness and show us the way
A A6
For though we are strangers in your silent world,
Amaj7 A Bm/A
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
A A6
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Amaj7 A Em7/A
Joyful and loving and letting it be
[chorus]
