Topic: Need chords

Looking for the chords to Seasons of the Heart by John Denver.  A guy named marc Roberts also recorded this, but, I believe it is on 2 John Denver albums.  Thanx!

Re: Need chords

Hi Thomas.
The version I listened to on YouTube has a piano accompaniment as is in the key of C.
There are only 3 chords. C, F and G. (with a C7 at the end of each verse leading into the chorus.)
The structure of the verse is
Intro
C F C F
1st verse
C F G C
C F G C
C F G C
C F G C C7
Chorus
F G C
F G C
F G C
F G C
Bridge to 2nd verse
F C G
2nd verse and chorus
Same as 1st
Reat the last line of the chorus at the end.

If the key doesn't suit (Denver had an excellent tenor voice but too high for many to sing!)
try it in G
Just substitute
G for C
C for F
D for G
and G7 for C7

Hope this helps.
