Starwood In Aspen
Words & Music by John Denver
from Aerie (1971)
Gm7 C7 F
It's a long way from L.A. to Denver,
Bb F Bb
It's a long time to hang in the sky;
Gm F Dm
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen,
F Bb F
The sweet Rocky Mountain paradise,
Bb F C7 F
Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise.
Gm C7 F
The springtime is rolling 'round slowly,
Bb F Bb
Gray skies are bringing me down.
Gm7 F Dm
Can't remember when I've ever been so lonely,
F Bb F
I've forgot what it's like to be home,
Bb F C7 F
Can't remember what it's like to be home.
Gm7 C7 F
I think of my lady's sweet mem'ry,
Bb F Bb
I think of my children's sweet smiles;
Gm7 F Dm
I think of my home at Starwood in Aspen,
F Bb F
All my friends and the snow covered hills,
Bb F C7 F
Oh, my friends are the snow covered hills.
Gm7 C7 F
Can I tell you I'm happy to be here.
Bb F Bb
To share and consider this time?
Gm7 F Dm
For I see here the shadows of changes,
F Bb F
And a feeling of new friends to find,
Bb F C7 F
And I see here some new friends to find.
Gm7 C7 F
It's a long way from this place to Denver,
Bb F Bb
It's a long time to hang in the sky;
Gm7 F Dm
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen,
F Bb F
The sweet Rocky Mountain paradise,
Bb F C7 F
Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise.
