[Intro]
Bm//// //// F#m//// //// Bm//// //// F#m//// ////
Bm//// F#m////
You think I'm an ignorant savage,
Bm//// F#m////
and you've been so many places I guess it must be so
Bm//// F#m//// Bm//// F#m////
But still I can not see if the savage one is me
Bm//// F#m//// Bm//// ////
How can there be so much that you don't know,
B//// //// F#//// //// //// //// (Changes from minor to major here)
You don't know...
[Verse 1]
B//// //// G#m//// ////
You think you own whatever land you land on
B//// //// G#m//// ////
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
C#m//// G#m//// C#m//// ////
But I know every rock and tree and creature
C#m//// F#//// G#m//// ////
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You Bthink the only people who are G#mpeople
Are the Bpeople who look and think like G#myou
But C#mif you walk the G#mfootsteps of a C#mstranger
You'll learn C#mthings you never F#knew you never Bknew
[Chorus]
G#m//// //// D#m//// E7////
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
G#m//// //// D#m//// ////
Or asked the grinning bob cat why he grins
E//// F#//// B//// ////
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
E//// F#//// C#//// ////
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
E//// F#//// //// B//// //// //// ////
Can you paint with all the colors of... the... wind?
[Verse 2]
Come Brun the hidden pine trails of the G#mforest
Come Btaste the sun sweet berries of the G#mearth
Come C#mroll in all the G#mriches all around C#myou
And for C#monce never F#mwonder what they're Bworth
The Brainstorm and the river are my G#mbrothers
The Bheron and the otter are my G#mfriends
And C#mwe are all G#mconnected to each C#mother
In aC#m circle, in a F#hoop that never Bends
[Bridge]
F#//// E//// F#//// B////
How high will a Sycamore grow?
E//// //// B//// F#//// ////
If you cut it down, you will never know
[Chorus]
G#m//// //// D#m//// E7////
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
G#m//// //// D#m//// ////
For whether we are white or copper skinned
E//// F#//// B//// ////
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
E//// F#//// C#//// ////
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Outro: (Slower tempo, sustained notes on the 1)
E//// F#//// B//// E//// ////
You can own the earth and still, all you'll own is earth until
G#m//// F#//// E//// F#//// B//// //// //// /(ends on the 1)
You can paint with all the colors...of... the... wind!
