INTRO: [G] [Am] [C] [G] [Em] [C] [G] [Am] [C] [G]

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

[CHORUS]
The sweet smell of the [Em]pin[G]es[C]__, the tall western [G]cedar
Drifting on the [Am]wind,[C] through the mountains like a [G]river [Am] [C] [G]

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

[CHORUS]
The sweet smell of the [Em]pin[G]es[C]__, the tall western [G]cedar
Drifting on the [Am]wind[C] , through the mountains like a [G]river

INSTRUMENTAL: [Am] [C] [G] [Em] [C] [G] [Am] [C] [G]

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

[CHORUS]
The sweet smell of the [Em]pin[G]es[C]__, the tall western [G]cedar
Drifting on the [Am]wind[C] , through the mountains like a [G]river

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

[CHORUS]
The sweet smell of the [Em]pin[G]es[C]__, the tall western [G]cedar
Drifting on the [Am]wind[C] , through the mountains like a [G]river

[CHORUS]
The sweet smell of the [Em]pin[G]es[C]__, the tall western [G]cedar
Drifting on the [Am]wind[C] , through the mountains like a [G]river [Am] [C] [G]
