She Gtold me of her Dlove
For the Emchildren in her B7trust
And Cof her grave conGcern
For the A7likes of Cyou and me and Gus
[CHORUS]
EmCrying though she was
She did Gspeak these tender words
"The Cthings that I AmamC  
I could not change for any Dman"
[VERSE 3]
I Gtried to comfort Dher
Ah, but Emshe would not be B7still
And Chow the rain did Gfall
As I A7found my way back Cdown the Redwood GHill
[INSTRUMENTAL]
G     D     Em     B7

I Gtried to comfort Dher
Ah, but Emshe would not be B7still
I'll Cnot forget that Gday
When A7Mother Nature Ccried on Redwood GHill
I'll Cnot forget that Gday

When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill
