Steve Brooks - Walking With The Elders


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: C majorC   FF  C majorC


My head is back, my eyes are open
Looking in a line unbroken
Up to where the leaves are waving
Half the way from here to heaven
FF            Dm7Dm7
Walking with the elders
       C majorC
On a Carolina mountainside
  FF            Dm7Dm7
I'm walking with the elders
     FF       C majorC
And their arms are open wide

Long before the dawn of science
God begot a race of giants
Cut to clear, cut to timber
Hidden here, a few have lingered
FF            Dm7Dm7
Walking with the elders
       C majorC
On a Carolina mountainside
  FF            Dm7Dm7
I'm walking with the elders
     FF       C majorC
And they will not be denied


CHORUS:
G+G     FF
Carry on a conversation
C majorC        G+G
With an ancient generation
        FF
Though I cannot speak the language
C majorC    FF    G+G      C majorC
Still my soul can understand it


INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC   FF  C majorC  FF Dm7Dm7 C majorC

Plant a tree, seed a forest
Praise the ones that come before us
They will see the changing seasons
When I'm in the ground beneath them
FF            Dm7Dm7
Walking with the elders
       C majorC
On a Carolina mountainside
  FF            Dm7Dm7
I'm walking with the elders
    FF      C majorC
And the elders will abide


CHORUS:
G+G     FF
Carry on a conversation
C majorC        G+G
With an ancient generation
        FF
Though I cannot speak the language
C majorC    FF    G+G      C majorC
Still my soul can understand it


INTERLUDE: C majorC

          N.C.
My head is back, my eyes are open
C majorC      N.C.
Looking in a line unbroken
C majorC        N.C.
Up to where the leaves are waving
C majorC
Half the way from here to heaven
FF            Dm7Dm7
Walking with the elders
       C majorC
On a Carolina mountainside
  FF            Dm7Dm7
I'm walking with the elders
    FF      C majorC
And the elders will abide
  FF            Dm7Dm7
I'm walking with the elders
N.C.         C majorC
And the elders will abide
        FF  C majorC
