Around And Around

Words & music by John Denver
from Poems, Prayers and Promises (1971)



   G 		         Am	             	        C  G   
  Time as I've known it doesn't take much time to pass by me
	  		        Am				   C  G
  Minutes into days, turn into months turn into years they  hurry by me
 Am			          G		         D
  Still I love to see the sun go down and the world go around

    G    	            Am				  C G
  Dreams full of promises, hopes for the future I've had many
				Am                               C   G
  Dreams I can't remember now, hopes that I've forgotten, faded mem'ries 
 Am			          G  		         D
  Still I love to see the sun go down and the world go around
         Am		 C              G	          C
  And I love to see the morning as it steals across the sky
  Am           C            G                C
  I love to remember and I love  to wonder why
         Am              C              G		C
  and I hope  that I'm around so I can be there when I die
            D   D7
  when I'm gone

     G
  I hope that you will think of me 
      Am				    C G
  in moments when you're happy and you're smiling
             			  
  that the thought will comfort you 
      Am			       C G
  on cold and cloudy days if you are cry-ing
 Am                                   G			     D
  that you'll love to see the sun go down and the world go around
		   G      C G
  and around and around
