[Verse 1]
C Am
You think you own whatever land you land on
C Em
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
Am F6
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Dm G6 Am
has a life, has a spirit, has a name
C Am
You think the only people who are people
C Em
are the people who look and think like you
Am F6
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Dm G C
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew
[Chorus]
Am Em F
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Am Em
or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
F G Em Am
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
F6 Am7add11
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Dm F/G C
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
[Verse 2]
C Am
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
C Em
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
Am F
Come roll in all the riches all around you
Dm G Am
and for once never wonder what they're worth
C Am
The rain storm and the river are my brothers
C Em
The heron and the otter are my friends
Am F
And we are all connected to each other
Dm G C
in a circle in a hoop that never ends
[Bridge]
Em F Em Am
How high does the sycamore grow?
Dm G6
If you cut it down then you'll never know
[Chorus]
Am Em F
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Am Em
For whether we are white- or copper-skinned
F G Em Am
You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
F Dm/A
You need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Dm G Em F
You can own the earth and still all you own is earth until
Am Fmaj7 G C
you can paint with all the colors of the wind
