Vanessa Williams - Colors of the wind

You ^Cmthink I'm an ignorant ^Ebsavage You've ^Cmbeen so many places, I ^Bbguess it must be so But ^Abstill I cannot ^Bbsee, if the ^Absavage one is ^Bbme How ^Abcan there be so ^Ebmuch that you don't ^Gknow You don't ^Cknow..^Am.

You ^Cthink you own whatever land you ^Amland on The ^Cearth is just a dead thing you can ^Emclaim But ^AmI know ev'ry rock and tree and ^Fcreature Has a ^Dmlife, has a ^Gspirit, has a ^Amname

You ^Cthink the only people who are ^Ampeople Are the ^Cpeople who look and think like ^Emyou But ^Amif you walk the footsteps of a ^Fstranger You'll learn ^Dmthings you never ^Gknew you never ^Cknew

Have you ^Amever heard the wolf cry to the ^Emblue corn ^Fmoon Or ^Amasked the grinning bobcat why he ^Emgrinned? Can you ^Fsing with all the ^Gvoices of the ^Emmountain?^Am Can you ^Dmpaint with all the colors of the ^Gwind? Can you ^Dmpaint with all the ^Gcolors of the ^Cwind?

Come ^Crun the hidden pine trails of the ^Amforest Come ^Ctaste the sun-sweet berries of the ^Emearth Come ^Amroll in all the riches all a^Fround you And for ^Dmonce, never ^Gwonder what they're ^Amworth

The ^Crainstorm and the river are my ^Ambrothers The ^Cheron and the otter are my ^Emfriends And ^Amwe're all connected to each ^Fother In a ^Dmcircle, in a ^Ghoop that never ^Cends

^EmHow ^Fhigh does the ^Gsycamore ^Amgrow? If you ^Dmcut it down Then you'll ^Gsus4never ^Gknow

And you'll ^Amnever hear the wolf cry to the ^Emblue corn ^Fmoon For ^Amwhether we are white or copper-^Emskinned We need to ^Fsing with all the ^Gvoices of the ^Emmountain^Am Need to ^Dmpaint with all the colors of the ^Gwind

You can ^Dmown the earth and ^Gstill All you'll ^Emown is earth un^Ftil You can ^Ampaint with all ^Dmcolors of the ^Cwind
