Windsong
John Denver, 1975· Songs Well-Known in America · p.370
D
The wind is the whisper of our mother the Earth
G
The wind is the hand of our father the sky
The wind watches over our struggles and pleasures
D A7
The wind is the goddess who first learned to fly
D
The wind is the bearer of bad and good tidings
G
Weaver of darkness, bringer of dawn
The wind gives the rain then builds us a rainbow
C
The wind is the singer who sang the first song
Am D
The wind is the twister of anger and warning
G Em C A7
The wind brings the fragrance of freshly mown hay
C Am D
The wind is a racer and a wild stallion running
C G Am G A
and the sweet taste of love on a slow summer's day
D
The wind knows the songs of the cities and canyons,
G
the thunder of mountains, the roar of the sea
The wind is the taker and giver of mornings
D A7
The wind is the symbol of all that is free
D
So welcome the wind and the wisdom she offers
G
Follow her summons when she calls again
In your heart and your spirit let the breezes surround you
C
Lift up your voice then and sing with the wind:
Am D
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
C G Am G D
Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee
G C G C G Em G Em C G C G (Fade)
oooooo oooo oooooooooo oooooo oooooooo
