Colours Of The Wind Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Vanessa Williams
Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

Dm       Gm                             Dm        D#       
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
   Gm                               Dm
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
        D#                 F             Dm         Gm
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
        D#                  A#             Gm      
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? 
        Cm                 D#             A#
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

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

Chorus:

Dm       Gm                             Dm        D#       
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
   Gm                                Dm
or let the eagle tell you where he's been?
        D#                 F             Dm         Gm
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
        D#                  A#             Gm      
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? 
        Cm                 D#             A#
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

A#   D#             Dm        Gm
How high does the sickamore grow?
       Cm                      F       
If you cut it down then you'll never know.

Dm         Gm                             Dm        D#     
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
    Gm                             Dm   
For whether we are white or copper skinned
           D#                 F             Dm          Gm
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
           Cm                 Dm            Gm
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.

    Cm7                           
You can own the Earth and still
           Dm              D#
All you'll own is earth until
        Gm         Dm      D#maj7  F      A#
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
