Words and Music by John Denver, 1975
Lyrics and chords are correct.
ATo sail on a dream on a crA6ystal clear ocean
To rAmaj7ide on the crest of a wAild raging sBm/Atorm
To wAork in the service of lA6ife and living
In seAmaj7arch of the anAswers to the questions unBm/Aknown
To be pAart of the movement and pA6art of the growing
Amaj7 A Em7/A (open for two bars)
Part of beginning to understand
CHORUS
DAye Calypso the pAlaces you've been to
The thiDngs that you've showAn us
The sEtories you tAell
DAye Calypso, I siAng to your spirit
The mDen who have seArved you so lE7ong and so well

Like the dAolphin who guides you, you A6bring us beside you
To lAmaj7ight up the darkness and sAhow us the wBm/Aay
For tAhough we are strangers in yA6our silent world
To Amaj7live on the laAnd we must learn from theBm/A sea
To be tArue as the tide and fA6ree as a wind swell
Amaj7 A Em7/A (open for two bars)
Joyful and loving in letting it be
