Intro
G     Em    G    E


Verse 1

G             Em       Bm         Em
Leaf falls to kiss the image of a mountain

    G             Em                 Am
the early morning mist has ceased to play

C             D              G             Em
Birds dancing lightly on the branches by a fountain

     C               D                G
Of a waterfall which dazzles with its spray



Verse 2

G                   Em       Bm           Em
Tall and strong and aged, contented and serene

    G          Em                 Am
The kauri tree surveys this grand domain

    C                D            G              Em
For miles and miles around him, a sea of rolling green

  C               D            G
Tomorrow all this beauty won't remain



Chorus

         C             D
Damn the dam cried the fantail,

      G               B7            E
As he flew into as he flew into the sky,

        F            G
To give power to the people

          C      Am     Em
 All this beauty has to die




Verse 3


G               Em        Bm              Em
Rain falls from above and splashes on the ground

     G                Em              Am
Goes running down the mountain to the sea

    C            D             G             Em
And leaping over pebbles makes such a joyful sound

C              D                G
Such is Mother Nature's gift to me



Verse 4

G            Em              Bm           Em
I have grave reflection,  reflection of a grave

G                     Em                 Am
Trees that once lived green now dead and brown

    C             D           G               Em
The homes of tiny animals and little birds as well

        C             D                     G
For the sake of man's progression have been drowned



Chorus

         C             D
Damn the dam cried the fantail,

      G               B7            E
As he flew into as he flew into the sky,

        F            G
To give power to the people

         C      Am     Em
All this beauty has to die



Instrumental



Chorus

Damn the dam cried the fantail,

      G               B7            E
As he flew into as he flew into the sky,



Chorus

         C             D
Damn the dam cried the fantail,

      G               B7            E
As he flew into as he flew into the sky,

        F            G
To give power to the people

          C      Am     Em        Am      E
 All this beauty has to die
