D5 C/D
You think I'm an ignorant savage
D5
And you've been so many places
C/D
I guess it must be so
Bb Am
But still I cannot see
Bb Am
If the savage one is me
Dm Bbmaj7 A5
How can there be so much that you don't know?

You don't know...

[Verse 1]
D Bm
You think you own whatever land you land on
D F#m
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
Bm G
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Emsus4 A9sus4 Bm
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
D Bm
You think the only people who are people
D F#m
Are the people who look and think like you
Bm G
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Em7add4 A9sus4 E
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
[Chorus]
Bm F#m Gadd9 G
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Bm F#m
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Gadd9 A Dadd9/F# Bm7
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
G6/9 Bm7add4
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

[Verse 2]
D Bm
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
D F#m
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Bm Bm/A G
Come roll in all the riches all around you
Em7 A9sus4 Bm A
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
D Bm
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
D Bm
The heron and the otter are my friends
Bm G
And we are all connected to each other
Em7 A9sus4 D
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
[Bridge]
F#m G Dadd9/F# Bm
How high does the sycamore grow?
C G/A A G/A A
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
[Chorus]
G/A A Bm F#m F#m/C Gadd9 G
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Bm F#m
For whether we are white or copper skinned
G A Dadd9/F# Bm
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
G6/9 Bm7add4
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

All you'll own is earth until

You can paint with all the colors of the wind
