Capo 1
[Verse 1]
C
So come sit down
         Am           G
Will you talk with me now?
C
Let me see through your eyes
               Am     G
Where there is so much life
       Am          G
We are biding our time
          Am        G
For these myths to unwind
       Am         G           C
These changes we will confront
C
So please beware
           Am              G
With every place that you head
C
Look to your soul
           Am               G
For these things that you know
        Am               G
For the trees that we see
       Am      G
Cannot forever breathe
Am                     G           C
With the changes they will confront
[Chorus]

          F             C
They just wont understand

No, I just wont understand these things
[Verse 2]
            C
This sacred land it has
Am         G
Seen many hands, it has
   C
Wealth and gold yet it is
Am           G
Fragile and old and all the
Am     G                Am       G
Greedy souls just don't care to know
Am                 G           C
Of the changes it will confront
C
So speak out loud of the
Am              G
Things you are proud
C
And if you love this coast
        Am           G
Keep it clean as it evolves
        Am           G
Cos the way that it shines
         Am            G
May just dwindle with time
Am                   G           C
With the changes it will confront
[Chorus] x 2
