Calypso
John Denver

John Denver
Windsong
1975
As a continuing tribute to John, I'm doing this song as my 200th
acoustic song.  My acoustic song page is now over two years old
and has seen more than 500,000 visitors.  This tune was written
on the boat after which it was named: Jacques Cousteau's Calypso.
John was a long-time admirer of Jacques.  Enjoy a great tune with
a catchy chorus.

Chords


INTRO:
| | | | Gmaj7 C G C G To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean C To ride on the crest of the wild raging storm G To work in the service of life and the living C In search of the answers to questions unknown G To be part of the movement and part of the growing C Part of beginning to understand
CHORUS C G Aye Calypso the places you've been to C G D G The things that you've shown us the stories you tell C G Aye Calypso I sing to your spirit C G D G The men who have served you so long and so well D C C/B Am7 G A-e-ay-ee-ee___________ D C C/B Am7 G A-dee-oh_________________ D C C/B Am7 G A-e-ay-ee-ee___________ D C A-da-lo___________ | | | | G C G C G C
Like the dolphin who guides you you bring us beside you To light up the darkness and show us the way For though we are strangers in your silent world To live on the land we must learn from the sea To be true as the tide and free as a wind-swell Joyful and loving in letting it be
CHORUS Aye Calypso the places you've been to The things that you've shown us the stories you tell Aye Calypso I sing to your spirit The men who have served you so long and so well Aye Calypso the places you've been to The things that you've shown us the stories you tell Aye Calypso I sing to your spirit The men who have served you so long and so well A-e-ay-ee-ee___________ A-dee-oh___________ A-e-ay-ee-ee___________ A-da-lo___________ end on G
