Colours of the Wind
guitar chords lyrics
Verse 1:
Gm A# Gm
You think you own whatever land you land on
A# Dm
the earth is just a dead thing can claim
Gm Dm D# A#
but i know every rock and tree and creature
Cm F Gm
has a life, has a spirit, has a name.
A# Gm
You think the only people who are people
A# Dm
are the people who look and think like you
Gm Dm D# A#
but if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Cm D# A#
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew.
Chorus:
Dm Gm Dm D#
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Gm Dm
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
D# F Dm Gm
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
D# A# Gm
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Cm D# A#
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Verse 2:
A# F Gm
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
A# Dm
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
Gm F D# A#
Come roll in all the riches all around you
Cm A# F Gm F
And for once never wonder what they're worth.
A# F Gm
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
A# Dm
The heron and the otter are my friends
Gm F D# A#
And we are all connected to each other
Cm D# A#
In a circle in a hoop that never ends.
Chorus:
Dm Gm Dm D#
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Gm Dm
or let the eagle tell you where he's been?
D# F Dm Gm
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
D# A# Gm
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Cm D# A#
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
A# D# Dm Gm
How high does the sickamore grow?
Cm F
If you cut it down then you'll never know.
Dm Gm Dm D#
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Gm Dm
For whether we are white or copper skinned
D# F Dm Gm
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
Cm Dm Gm
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.
Cm7
You can own the Earth and still
Dm D#
All you'll own is earth until
Gm Dm D#maj7 F A#
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
