Colors Of The Wind

     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
