Kate Wolf - Like A River Chords

INTRO: G   Am  C  G   Em  C  G   Am  C  G


It's high on a mountain the warm winds are blowing
                        Am         C                      G
And where the winds are blowing to, there ain't no way of knowing
                      Em    C                      G
The mountain grass is short, it's dry and close to burning
               Am   C                G
Crying out for water as the season's turning


CHORUS:
                       Em G C                    G
The sweet smell of the pines__, the tall western cedar
                Am   C                             G       Am  C  G
Drifting on the wind, through the mountains like a river


 
I've been too long away from this wild open sky
                            Am  C                             G
On the concrete trails that wind through the canyons dark and wide
                     Em     C                     G
The sounds of people talking in words of blue and grey
                        Am     C                   G
And smells of doors and windows closed against the day


CHORUS:
                       Em G C                    G
The sweet smell of the pines__, the tall western cedar
                Am  C                              G 
Drifting on the wind, through the mountains like a river


INSTRUMENTAL: Am  C  G   Em  C  G   Am  C  G



Now the dust lies thick and heavy where my feet are falling
                        Am   C                G
There's nothing but the sound of the jaybirds calling
                      Em     Em-D6-C                 G
My mind grows dry and thirsty        as the memories linger
                Am  C                             G
Drifting on the wind through the mountains like a river


CHORUS:    
                       Em G C                    G
The sweet smell of the pines__, the tall western cedar
                Am  C                              G 
Drifting on the wind, through the mountains like a river


INSTRUMENTAL: Em  C  G   Am  C  G   (4x)


CHORUS:    
                       Em G C                    G
The sweet smell of the pines__, the tall western cedar
                Am  C                              G 
Drifting on the wind, through the mountains like a river


CHORUS:    
                       Em G C                    G
The sweet smell of the pines__, the tall western cedar
                Am  C                              G        Am  C  G
Drifting on the wind, through the mountains like a river
