Colors Of The Wind Chords

(ver. 1)
Alan Menken
[Introduction]
D5

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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
    D                               Bm
You think you own whatever land you land on
    D                                  F#m
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
    Bm                             G
But I know every rock and tree and creature
      Emsus4      A9sus4        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
             Em7add4          A9sus4         E
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

[Chorus]
         Bm                             F#m       Gadd9 G
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
   Bm                               F#m
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
        Gadd9             A             Dadd9/F#   Bm7
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
        G6/9                             Bm7add4
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
        Em7add4            A9sus4        D
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
     D                                 Bm
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
     D                                 F#m
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
     Bm              Bm/A        G
Come roll in all the riches all around you
        Em7         A9sus4              Bm    A
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

    D                              Bm
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
    D                          Bm
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

[Bridge]
F#m G             Dadd9/F# Bm
How high does the sycamore grow?
       C                        G/A   A    G/A A
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

[Chorus]
G/A A      Bm                             F#m  F#m/C Gadd9 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             Dadd9/F#  Bm
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
           G6/9                             Bm7add4
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

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