Verse 1
You [G] think you own whatever land you [Em] land on
The [G] earth is just a dead thing you can [Bm] claim
But [Em] I know every rock and tree and [C] creature
has a [Am] life, has a [D] spirit, has a [Em] name
You [G] think the only people who are [Em] people
are the [G] people who look and think like [Bm] you
But [Em] if you walk the footsteps of a [C] stranger
you'll learn [Am] things you never [D] knew you [G] never knew
Chorus
Have you [Em] ever heard the wolf cry to the [Bm] blue corn [C] moon
or [Em] asked the grinning bobcat why he [Bm] grinned
Can you [C] sing with all the [D] voices of the [Em] mountain
Can you [C] paint with all the colors of the [D] wind
Can you [C] paint with all the [D] colors of the [G] wind
Verse 2
Come [G] run the hidden pine trails of the [Em] forest
Come [G] taste the sun sweet berries of the [Bm] earth
Come [Em] roll in all the riches all [C] around you
and [Am] for once never [D] wonder what [Em] they're worth
The [G] rain storm and the river are my [Em] brothers
The [G] heron and the otter are my [Bm] friends
And [Em] we are all connected to each [C] other
in a [Am] circle in a [D] hoop that never [G] ends
Bridge
[G] How [C] high does the [Bm] sycamore [Em] grow?
If you [Am] cut it down then you'll [D] never know
Chorus
And [Em] you'll never hear the wolf cry to the [Bm] blue corn [C] moon
For [Em] whether we are white- or [Bm] copper-skinned
You need [C] to sing with all [D] the voices of [Em] the mountain
You need [C] to paint with all the colors of [D] the wind
You can [Em] own the earth and still all you [Bm] own is earth until
you can [C] paint with all the [D] colors of the [G] wind
