Chords with lyrics

For the rhythm, think Native American: Heya hona, heya hona, with the emphasis on the 1

Intro:
Bm//// //// F#m//// ////  Bm//// ////  F#m//// ////

  Bm////        F#m////
You think I'm an ignorant savage,
      Bm////        F#m////
and you've been so many places I guess it must be so
  Bm////     F#m////  Bm////    F#m////
But still I can not see if the savage one is me
  Bm////     F#m////       Bm//// ////
How can there be so much that you don't know,
B//// ////     F#//// //// //// //// (Changes from minor to major here)
   You don't know...

Verse 1:
  B//// ////           G#m//// ////
You think you own whatever land you land on
  B//// ////             G#m//// ////
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
   C#m////  G#m////     C#m//// ////
But I know every rock and tree and creature
   C#m////   F#////    G#m//// ////
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

  BB               G# minorG#m
You think the only people who are people
    BB               G# minorG#m
Are the people who look and think like you
  C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m      C# minorC#m
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
       C# minorC#m       F#F#       BB
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Chorus:
     G#m//// ////          D#m////  E7////
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
  G#m//// ////           D#m//// ////
Or asked the grinning bob cat why he grins
    E////       F#////    B//// ////
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
    E////       F#////    C#//// ////
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
    E////       F#//// ////      B//// //// //// ////
Can you paint with all the colors  of... the... wind?

Verse 2:
   BB                 G# minorG#m
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
   BB                 G# minorG#m
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
   C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m        C# minorC#m
Come roll in all the riches all around you
    C# minorC#m    F# minorF#m         BB
And for once never wonder what they're worth

  BB               G# minorG#m
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
  BB             G# minorG#m
The heron and the otter are my friends
  C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m        C# minorC#m
And we are all connected to each other
  C# minorC#m      F#F#       BB
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Bridge:
F#//// E////      F#////  B////
How   high   will a Sycamore grow?
    E//// ////      B//// F#//// ////
If you cut it down, you will never know

Chorus:
      G#m//// ////          D#m////  E7////
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
  G#m//// ////          D#m//// ////
For whether we are white or copper skinned
      E////       F#////    B//// ////
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
    E////       F#////    C#//// ////
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind

Outro: (Slower tempo, sustained notes on the 1)
    E////       F#////      B////    E//// ////
You can own the earth and still, all you'll own is earth until
    G#m////      F#////  E//// F#//// B//// //// //// /(ends on the 1)
You can paint with all the colors...of... the... wind!
