Verse 1:
E minorEm
with a shrug of her shoulders
G+G
the mountain came down
A minorAm
tore a path all the way to the water

And the trails i'd wandered
G+G
on a race to the birth
A minorAm
of the million year old rock
C majorC
from the naked gasping earth
C majorC D* E minorEm D MajorD
oh my children where you gonna go
C majorC D* E minorEm D MajorD
now you lost the land you called your home

crying oh my children who will save you now

E minorEm
now the winters hit harder

the summers are fire

and the rains are the tears of a mother

amid the blackened oaks

sprays some fledgling branches

and the wild flowers below
