Colours of the wind (From the movie "Pocahontas")

This is the key I play in. If you want to play in the same key as the movie
you can either tune your guitar one half step down or use the transpose function.
If you use the transpose function I would recommend you to transpose down 5 half steps
and then put a capo on fret 4. 


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

     D                               Bm                
You think you own whatever land you land on
    D                              F#m
the earth is just a dead thing can claim
    Bm                              G         
but i know every rock and tree and creature      
      Em            A            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     
             Em                A              D
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew.

Chorus:
         Bm                             F#m        G       
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
   Bm                               F#m
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
        G                 A             D/F#    Bm7
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
        G6/9                              Bm7      
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? 
        Em                 A9sus4          D   Bm   D   Bm
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 sun sweet berries of the earth
     Bm              Bm/A           G           
Come roll in all the riches all around you
        Em7        A9sus4               Bm      
And for once never wonder what they're worth.
 A   D                              Bm
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
    D                          F#m
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.


F#m  G             D/F#      Bm
How high does the sickamore grow?
        C                       G/A   A   G/A A       
If you cut it down then you'll never know.
G/A  A      Bm                            F#m        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             D/F#     Bm7
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain,
           G6/9                             Bm7
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.

    Em                      A     
You can own the Earth and still
           F#m            G
All you'll own is earth until
        Bm                  Gmaj7  G/A     D   Bm   G   Em7/A   D
You can paint with all the colors of the wind.
