If yous want to use the chords to a higher place and play along with John Denver's official version, you'll need a capo on the 2nd fret. Without a capo, you'd demand to apply chords in the key of A to play along with John Denver (which makes a bit tougher, since a barre chord is needed for F#m). Otherwise, y'all can utilise no capo (using the chords I show) and yous'll audio just fine on your own.
Understanding the timing of each chord
We'll have 4 counts per mensurate. Chords are either played for 1 or ii measures, depending on the part of the song. Here'southward a expect at the chord progressions used for each department. Everytime you lot see a chord name, play that chord for 4 counts (1 measure). If you lot come across a slash ("/"), repeat the prior chord for an additional mensurate.
Poesy:
Chorus:
G / D / Em / C / G / D / C / K / Bridge:
Em D Thou / C G D / Em F C G D / D7 / How to play the chords
Here's how to play the chords you'll need. For the F chord, you can become away with the "easy" arroyo of only playing the middle four strings - this prevents you from needing to play a full barre chord, which is more difficult.

Quite only, the easiest mode is to use all down strums – and emphasis the "2" and "iv" counts in each 4 count measure.
one 2 3 iv D = downstrum D D D D > = absolute strum > > To take this a step further, for the "1" and "three" try only playing the bass note the chord with your picking hand. For example:
