Version 1 Version 2 Version 3Rhymes and Reasons - John Denver Tabbed by: YeovLittlefaith Capo I (Intro: E A E B E) E B A E So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter, C#m G#m A B fear that is within' you know that seems to never end, E B and the dreams that have escaped you A E and the hope that you've forgotten C#m E B and you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend A and you wonder where we're going, E B where's the rhyme and where's the reason C#m E B and it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin F#m to seek the wisdom of the children E A B and the graceful way of flowers in the wind. Chorus: E B A E For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, C#m G#m A B their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day. E B A E Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow C#m E they're a promise of the future B E and the blessing for today. E B A E Though the city starts to crumble and the towers fall around us C#m G#m A B the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea E B A E it is written: From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us C#m E B by the hand and by the heart and they will comfort you and me. A E B In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free. Chorus 2: E B A E For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, C#m G#m A B their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day. E A B E And the song that I am singing is a prayer for non-believers C#m E B A E come and stand beside us, we can find a better way.
