WHISPERING JESSE
Words and Music by John Denver
from Higher Ground (1988)

I often have wandered in deep contemplation
It seems that the mind runs wild when you're all alone
the way that it could be, the ways that it should be

things I'do differently if I could do them again

I've always loved spring time, the passing of winter
The green of the new leaves, the life goin' on
The promise of morning, the long days of summer
Warm nights of lo-ving her beneath the bright stars

I'm just an old cowboy from high Colorado
too old to ri---de anymore, to blind to see
I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains
away from the cab-in we always called home

I dream I left there on an old palomino
whispering Jesse rode right by my side
I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing
the touch of her cool hands on my fevered brow

Wispering Jesse still rides in the mountains
still sings in the canyons
still lives in my heart

Well, that was a pain in the you know what, but Joerg has his words. The clickie site is a real mess with banner ads and frames, and scroll down click here stuff, but if Joerg is diligent, he can find the lyrics and chords.

Obviously, someone intelligent is going to have to walk me thru the PRE command, it did not do what I thought it was going to............(sorry, Joerg)
