Version 1 Version 2 Version 3[Verse 1] Am C Am You think you own whatever land you land on C Em The earth is just a dead thing you can claim Am Em F C But I know every rock and tree and creature Dm G Am has a life, has a spirit, has a name. C Am You think the only people who are people C Em are the people who look and think like you Am Em F C But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger Dm F C you'll learn things you never knew you never knew. [Chorus] Em Am Em F Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Am Em Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? F G Em Am Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? F C Am Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Dm F C Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? [Verse 2] C G Am Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest C Em Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth Am G F C Come roll in all the riches all around you Dm C G Am G And for once never wonder what they're worth. C G Am The rainstorm and the river are my brothers C Em The heron and the otter are my friends Am G F C And we are all connected to each other Dm F C In a circle in a hoop that never ends. [Chorus] Em Am Em F Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Am Em or let the eagle tell you where he's been? F G Em Am Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? F C Am Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Dm F C Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? C F Em Am How high does the sycamore grow? Dm G If you cut it down then you'll never know. [Verse] Em Am Em F And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Am Em For whether we are white or copper skinned F G Em Am We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains Dm Em Am We need to paint with all the colors of the wind. [Outro] Dm7 You can own the Earth and still Em F All you'll own is earth until Am Em Fmaj7 G C You can paint with all the colors of the wind.
