Verse 1:

G5  A#5                               G5                
You think you own whatever land you land on
    A#5                              D5
the earth is just a dead thing can claim
    G5           D5                D#5         A#5
but i know every rock and tree and creature      
      C5          F5             G5
has a life, has a spirit, has a name. 
    A#5                             G5   
You think the only people who are people
        A#5                              D5
are the people who look and think like you
    G5              D5             D#5          A#5
but if you walk the footsteps of a stranger     
             C5               D#5              A#5
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew.

Chorus:

D5       G5                             D5        D#5       
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
   G5                               D5
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
        D#5                 F5             D5         G5
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
        D#5                  A#5             G5      
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? 
        C5                 D#5             A#5
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Verse 2:
     A#5              F5                  G5
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
     A#5                                  D5
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
     G5              F5           D#5           A#5
Come roll in all the riches all around you
        C5         A#5      F5            G5      F5
And for once never wonder what they're worth.
    A#5                 F5            G5
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
    A#5                          D5
The heron and the otter are my friends
    G5            F5              D#5        A#5
And we are all connected to each other
     C5          D#5            A#5
In a circle in a hoop that never ends.

Chorus:

D5       G5                             D5        D#5       
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
   G5                                D5
or let the eagle tell you where he's been?
        D#5                 F5             D5         G5
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
        D#5                  A#5             G5      
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? 
        C5                 D#5             A#5
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

A#5   D#5             D5        G5
How high does the sickamore grow?
       C5                      F5       
If you cut it down then you'll never know.

D5         G5                             D5        D#5     
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
    G5                             D5   
For whether we are white or copper skinned
           D#5                 F5             D5          G5
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
           C5                 D5            G5
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.

    C5                           
You can own the Earth and still
           D5              D#5
All you'll own is earth until
        G5         D5      D#5  F5      A#5
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
