SEMINOLE WIND    

Intro. Asus2)                                    
                                                
  G           
Ever since the days of old 
  Asus2                                           
Men would search for wealth untold                        
       G                                  
They'd dig for silver and for gold                        
     Asus2                                
And leave the empty holes;
                                
    G          
And way down south in the Everglades 
          Asus2               
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves                    
    G                                                    
The eagles fly and the otters play
        Asus2     
In the land of the Semi-nole; 
        (Chorus)  
           G             
        So blow, blow Seminole wind 
         Asus2           
        Blow like you're never gonna blow again; 
            G                
        I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend 
              Asus2    
        But I don't know who you are; 
            G          
        And blow, blow from the Okee-cho-bee 
         Asus2                                       
        All the way up to Micanopy    (pronounced: Meh-can-o-pee) 
         G        
        Blow across the home of the Seminole 
            Asus2    
        The alligator and the gull

Asus2

 G
 Progress came and took its toll
     Asus2 
 And in the name of flood control
 G 
 They made their plans and they drained the land 
 Asus2
 Now the Glades are goin' dry 
 G
 Last time I, walked in the swamp 
    Asus2
 I stood up on a cypruss stump 
   G
 I listened close and I heard the ghost 
    Asus2
 Of Os-eo-la cry 
 
(Chorus)

  Asus2 (play the end chord as whole notes)
                             strike chord once let it ring and fade
(I used to play this with the Asus2 much better)
enjoy!  jrbmusic
