[Verse 1]
D
You probably come from Canada
D         G                    D
Where the cold wind chased you down
D                        A
Is that a touch of snow upon your wings
        Bm               D
Are you headed southward bound
D
Move quickly wild bird
    G                 D
The hunter comes from town
D                   A
He longs to see you on his wall
A             Bm             D
You match his mantelpiece in brown
D
Faster wild bird
D   G             D
The sun is sinking down
D                     A
I?d love to ride your noble wings
A       Bm          D
I would utter not a sound

[Chorus 1]
G             A            D
There must be some kind of blue sky somewhere
G          A            D
God made especially for you
D               A
Children of the wild winds
Bm
Go there now
G                   A          D
Take what?s left of living for you

Verse 2 same chords:
D
You probably come from Asia
D         G                 D
Where the seas are deep and clear
D                          A
When you rise to break the rolling waves
A         Bm              D
Your body glistens like a mirror
D
Faster great blue one
D        G           D
It?s the fisherman I hear
D                       A
There?s a pretty price upon your head
A              Bm                D
They?re paying well for you this year
D
Faster great blue one
D    G                D
Your darkest storm is near
D                     A
I?d love to ride your great blue tail
A        Bm               D
All your secrets I?d hold dear

[Chorus 2]
G             A            D
There must be some kind of blue sea somewhere
G          A            D
God made especially for you
D               A
Children of the wild waves
Bm
Go there now
G                   A          D
Take what?s left of living for you

[Verse 3]
D
You probably come from Idaho
D         G                   D
Where the cool air treats you right
D                            A
Where you roam the sauntered mountains
A       Bm       D
In your savage delight
D
Move quickly brave bear
D   G                   D
The builder scales your heights
D                        A
Your home to him?s worth millions now
A          Bm               D
So there?s nothing he won?t try
D
Faster brave bear
D   G              D
The moon is losing light
D                   A
I?d love to run the trail with you
A           Bm                  D
Scream your courage through the night

[Chorus 3]
G             A            D
There must be some kind of mountain somewhere
G          A            D
God made especially for you
D               A
Children of the wild lands
Bm
Go there now
G                   A          D
Take what?s left of living for you

[Chorus 4]
G             A            D
There must be some kind of new world somewhere
G          A            D
God made especially for you
D               A
Children of the wild world
Bm
Go there now
G                   A          D
Take what?s left of living for you
