Verse:
BbGm
You think you own what ever land you land on
BbDm
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
GmEb
But I know every rock and tree and creature
CmFGm
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
BbGm
You think the only people who are people
BbDm
Are the people who look and think like you
GmEb
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
CmFBb
You'll learn things you never knew never knew
Chorus:
GmDmEb
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
GmDm
Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grins
EbFGm
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
EbF
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
EbFBb
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Verse:
BbGm
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
BbDm
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
GmEb
Come roll in all the riches all around you
CmFGm
And for once never wonder what they're worth
BbGm
The rain storm and the river are my brothers
BbDm
The heron and the otter are my friends
GmEb
And we are all connected to each other
CmFGm
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Chorus:
GmDmEb
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
GmDm
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been?
EbFGm
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
EbF
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
EbFBb
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Bridge:
BbEbDmGm
How high does the Sycamore grow?
CmF
If you cut it down then you'll never know
Chorus:
GmDmEb
You'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
GmDm
Or whether we are white or copper skin
EbFGm
You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
EbF
You need to paint with all the colors of the wind
GmDm
You can own the earth and still all you'll own is earth until
EbFBb
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
