I Want to Live John Denver
Intro:G Am D7
There are [G]children raised in sorrow on a [Em]scorched
and barren plain there are [C]children raised be[Am]neath
the golden [G]sun [D7] there are [G]children of the water
[Em]children of the sand and they [C]cry throughout
the [Am]universe their [F]voices raised as [D]one
CHORUS: I want to [G]live I want to grow I want to [C]see
I want to know I want to [B#m]share what I can [C]give
I want to [D]be I want to [G]live
Have you [G]gazed out on the ocean, seen the [Em]breaching
of a whale have you [C]watched the dolphins
[Am]frolic in the [G]foam [D7] have you [G]heard the sound
the humpback hears five [Em]hundred miles away
telling [C]tales of ancient [Am]history of [F]passages and [D]home
REPEAT CHORUS
For the [Am]worker and the warrior the [Em]lover and the liar
for the [F]native and the [Am]wanderer in [G]kind [D7]
for the [Am]maker and the user the [Em]mother and her son
I am [F]looking for my [Am]family and [F]all of you are [D]mine
We are [G]standing all together face to [Em]face and arm in arm
We are [C]standing on the [Am]threshold of a [G]dream[D7]
no more [G]hunger no more killing no more [Em]wasting life away
it is [C]simply an [Am]idea and I [F]know it's time has [D]come
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
END:[C] [D] I want to [G]live [C] [D] I want to [G]live
