Colors Of the Wind - Pocahontas

Bb C C D Eb D Bb C G
You think Im an ignorant savage

BbC CCD Eb D DD C Bb C D
You've been so many places, I guess it must be so

Eb Eb D D Bb C
But still I cannot see

C D Eb D C Bb C
If the savage one is me

Bb C CC D Eb D G F E
How can there be so much that you dont know?

DGC
You dont know...

F G F F D D C C Bb C G
You think you own whatever land you land on

C D F F D D C C Bb D
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim

D G F F D D C C Bb C G
But I know every rock and tree and creature

CDC  CDDF CDG
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

C D F F D D C C Bb C G
You think the only people who are people

C D D F D D C C Bb D
Are the people who look and think like you

D G F F D D C C Bb C G
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger

G D C Bb C D C Bb G Bb Bb
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

D F Bb A A G G F D C D F G
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?

A Bb A A G G F F D F
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?

D F Bb A A G G F F G F Bb
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?

G Bb C D D C C Bb Bb G C
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
G Bb C D D C C Bb G Bb Bb
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

F G F F D D C C Bb C G
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest

C D F F D D C C Bb D
Come taste the  sun, sweet berries of the earth

D G F F D D C C Bb C G
Come roll in all the riches all around you

CDC CDDF CDG
And for once, never wonder, what they're worth

C D F F D D C C Bb C G
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers

C D D F D D C C Bb D
The heron and the otter are my friends

D G F F D D C C Bb C G
and we are all connected to eachother

G D C Bb C D C Bb G Bb Bb
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Bb A G F F G F Bb
How high does the sycamore grow?
Bb C D Eb D Bb C D C C
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
D F Bb A A G G F D C D F G
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

A Bb A A G G F F D F
For whether we are white or copper skinned

D F Bb A A G G F F G F Bb
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains

G Bb C C D D C C Bb Bb G C
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

D Bb C D D C Bb
You can own the earth and still

Bb C D F D Bb G
All you'll own is earth until

G A Bb A G F D Bb C C Bb
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
