Red-Tailed Hawk
George Schroder, 1986· Songs Well-Known in America · p.263
(Intro) Am G Am
Am G Am
The redtail hawk writes songs across the sky,
Am G Am
There's music in the waters flowing by,
Am G Am
And you can hear a song each time the wind sighs,
G Em Am
In the golden rolling hills of California. (Twice)
Am G Am
It's been so long love since you said goodbye,
Am G Am
My cabin's been as lonesome as a cry,
Am G Am
There's comfort in the clouds drifting by,
G Em Am
In the golden rolling hills of California. (Twice)
Am G Am
A neighbor came today to lend a hand,
Am G Am
As I fixed the road as best as I can,
Am G Am
It's just something that needs a man's hand,
G Em Am
In the golden rolling hills of California, (Twice)
(Repeat first verse and fade out)
