[Intro]
    Em      G      D      Ax2
[Verse]
    EmEver since the Gdays of old
DMen would search for Awealth untold
    EmThey'd dig for silver Gand for gold
And Dleave the empty Aholes;
And Emway down south in the GEverglades
Where the Dblack water rolls and the Asaw grass waves
  EmThe eagles fly and the Gotters play
In the Dland of the SemiAnole;
[Chorus]
So Emblow, blow GSeminole wind
DBlow like you're never gonna Ablow again;
  EmI'm callin' to you like a Glong-lost friend
But DI know who you Aare;
And Emblow, blow from the GOkeechobee
DAll the way up to AMicanopy
EmBlow across the home of the GSeminole
The Dalligators and the Agar
    Em      G      D      Ax2
[Verse]
 EmProgress came and Gtook its toll
 DAnd in the name of Aflood control
 EmThey made their plans and theGy drained the land
 DNow the Glades are Agoin' dry
 EmAnd the last time I Gwalked in the swamp
 DI stood up on a Acypress stump
 EmI listened close and I Gheard the ghost
 DOf Osceola cAry
[Chorus]
So Emblow, blow GSeminole wind
DBlow like you're never gonna Ablow again;
  EmI'm callin' to you like a Glong-lost friend
But DI know who you Aare;
And Emblow, blow from the GOkeechobee
DAll the way up to AMicanopy
EmBlow across the home of the GSeminole
The Dalligators and the Agar
[Outro]
    Em      G      D      Ax3
(half time)
    Em      G      D      Ax2

The story behind the song

"Seminole Wind" is a vividly imagistic song that laments the vanishing natural world and the loss of the old ways. It conjures images of eagles flying and otters playing, with the wind blowing from the Okeechobee, carrying the cry of Osceola. This powerful track, from John Anderson's 1992 album of the same name, conveys a sense of urgency and great loss. It plays like a heartfelt plea for remembrance and respect for the land and its history.

[Intro]

Em G D A

[Verse]

Em G

Ever since the days of old

D A

Men would search for wealth untold

Em G

They'd dig for silver and for gold

D A

And leave the empty holes;

Em G

And way down south in the Everglades

D A

Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves

Em G

The eagles fly and the otters play

D A

In the land of the Seminole;

[Chorus]

Em G

So blow, blow Seminole wind

D A

Blow like you're never gonna blow again;

Em G

I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend

D A

But I know who you are;

Em G

And blow, blow from the Okeechobee

D A

All the way up to Micanopy

Em G

Blow across the home of the Seminole

D A

The alligators and the gar

Em G D A

[Verse]

Em G

Progress came and took its toll

D A

And in the name of flood control

Em G

They made their plans and they drained the land

D A

Now the Glades are goin' dry

Em G

And the last time I walked in the swamp

D A

I stood up on a cypress stump

Em G

I listened close and I heard the ghost

D A

Of Osceola cry

[Chorus]

Em G

So blow, blow Seminole wind

D A

Blow like you're never gonna blow again;

Em G

I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend

D A

But I know who you are;

Em G

And blow, blow from the Okeechobee

D A

All the way up to Micanopy

Em G

Blow across the home of the Seminole

D A

The alligators and the gar

[Outro]
