CAPO: 1st Fret




[INTRO:] C    G    A7  C  G

[VERSE 1:]
                      D
I climbed the Redwood Hill
      Em         B7
'Twas on a rainy day
   C              G
To rise above the throng
    A7                            D7
And talk with Mother Nature for a while


[VERSE 2:]
    G              D
She told me of her love
        Em              B7
For the children in her trust
    C               G
And of her grave concern
        A7       C              G
For the likes of you and me and us


[CHORUS:]
Em
Crying though she was
        G
She did speak these tender words
     C             Am    C
"The things that I am
                           D
I could not change for any man"


[VERSE 3:]
  G                D
I tried to comfort her
        Em               B7
Ah, but she would not be still
    C                G
And how the rain did fall
     A7                C                G
As I found my way back down the Redwood Hill


[INSTRUMENTAL:] G      D    Em    B7    C    G    A7  C  G


[CHORUS:]
Em
Crying though she was
        G
She did speak these tender words
     C             Am    C
"The things that I am
                           D
I would not change for any man"


[VERSE 4:]
  G                D
I tried to comfort her
        Em               B7
Ah, but she would not be still
     C               G
I'll not forget that day
     A7            C                G
When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill
     C               G
I'll not forget that day
     A7            C     N.C.       G
When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill


[OUTRO:] G   C     G     A7  C  G
