Kate Wolf - Jenny Wind
CAPO: 4th Fret
Her Amfather was a man who knew no Emfences
Her Ammother was a woman of the Emtrail
But AmJenny Wind was Emborn into a Fnew world
G7When the white man Ccame
AmJenny was taught the Emold ways
And she Amlearned to speak her father's Emtongue
When she Fdied, she was one of the Clast ones
And the G7earth covered up her Cbones
AmJenny Wind was born a Emwild thing
A Amsister to coyote and the Emsun
But they Amgave her a Emdress of Fcalico
And they G7named her Jenny CWind
But the Amwhite man's ways, they followed Emher
She was Amburied 'neath a marker made of Emstone
And on her Fgrave they carved her Cpretty name
G7"Here lies the F7Indian, Jenny CWind"
BRIDGE:
FBut they say her G7soul flies Cfree
FCaring for the G7weary and the Clost
AmIn the forest deep and Fquiet
All aG7round the grave of Jenny CWind
AmI met Jenny on a summer Emnight
AmWalking in the Placer EmCounty
I Amstumbled on her Emgrave in the Fforest there
G7So all alone and Cstill
I Amwondered if she cared that I Emfound her
AmLying so hidden and aEmlone
I Fwondered who she was before they Cnamed her
"The G7Indian, Jenny CWind"
The Amsilence grew till it Emtouched me
And Amheld me like the words upon the Emstone
And Amfor the first Emtime I was aFfraid
G7I would not find my way Chome
I Amran from her as the night grew Emdarker
I Amdropped my glasses and I took a Emfall
Lost and Fblind, somehow I Cfound them
Lying G7folded on her grave so Csmall
BRIDGE:
And I Fbelieve that her G7soul flies Cfree
And it Fcares for the G7weary and the Clost
AmIn the forest deep and Fquiet
All aG7round the grave of Jenny CWind
