Penned by John Denver in 1966, this song was recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary and became their only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. In 1969, Denver recorded a version of the song for his debut studio album, "Rhymes & Reasons." In my arrangement, the piano carries the melody, while a layer of gentle chords fills out the background, along with a number of percussion instruments.
