Redwood Hill chords by Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot - Redwood Hill


CAPO: 1st Fret




[INTRO:] C  G  A7 C G

[VERSE 1:]
           D
I climbed the Redwood Hill
   Em     B7
'Twas on a rainy day
  C       G
To rise above the throng
  A7              D7
And talk with Mother Nature for a while

[VERSE 2:]
  G       D
She told me of her love
    Em       B7
For the children in her trust
  C        G
And of her grave concern
    A7    C       G
For the likes of you and me and us


[CHORUS:]
Em
Crying though she was
    G
She did speak these tender words
   C       Am  C
"The things that I am
              D
I could not change for any man"


[VERSE 3:]
 G        D
I tried to comfort her
    Em        B7
Ah, but she would not be still
  C        G
And how the rain did fall
   A7        C        G
As I found my way back down the Redwood Hill


[INSTRUMENTAL:] G   D  Em  B7  C  G  A7 C G


[CHORUS:]
Em
Crying though she was
    G
She did speak these tender words
   C       Am  C
"The things that I am
              D
I would not change for any man"


[VERSE 4:]
 G        D
I tried to comfort her
    Em        B7
Ah, but she would not be still
   C        G
I'll not forget that day
   A7      C        G
When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill
   C        G
I'll not forget that day
   A7      C   N.C.    G
When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill
