Colors Of The Wind

	  		

 

 

VERSE 
     C                                Am 
You think you own what ever land you land on 
     C                                 Am 
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim 
       F            C                  Dm7 
But I know every rock and tree and creature 
      F            G            Am 
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name 
     C                             Am  
You think the only people who are people 
        C                              Am 
Are the people who look and think like you 
    F                 C                Dm7 
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger 
               F               G               C 
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew  

Chorus 
         Am                              F 
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon 
   Am                               Em 
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grins 
         F                 G            C       Am 
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain 
         Dm7                               Em 
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind  
         F                  G             C 
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind 

VERSE 
      C                                 Am 
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest 
       C                                Am 
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth 
      F               C                 Dm7 
Come roll in all the riches all around you  
         Am                           G 
And for once never wonder what they're worth 
     C                                Am 
The rain storm and the river are my brothers  
       C                          Am 
The herron and the otter are my friends 
     F            C                Dm7   
And we are all connected to each other  
      F             G               C 
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends  

 F            
How high does the Sickamore grow? 
       Bb7                            G      G7 
if you cut it down then you'll never know 

Chorus 
        Am                            Em          F 
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon 
       Am                            Em 
For whether we are white or copper skinned 
        F                   G             C 
Can we sing with all the voices of the mountains 
        Dm7                              Em 
Can we paint with all the colors of the wind  

         F                 G 
You can own the earth and still  
             C           Am 
All you'll own is earth until  
          Dm7                G            C 
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
