CAPO: 1st Fret

[INTRO]
[Am] [G] [C] [Em] [Dm] [F] [G] [Am]

[Am]Ooh ooh ooh [G]ooh ooh, [C]ooh ooh ooh [Em]ooh
Ooh ooh [Dm]ooh, ooh ooh [F]ooh ooh [G]ooh ooh [Am]ooooh

[VERSE 1]
Come, lonely [G]hunter, [C]chieftain and [Em]king
I will [Dm]fly like the [G]falcon when I [Am]go
Bear me my [G]brother [C]under your [Em]wing
I will [Dm]strike fell like [G]lightning when I [Am]go

[VERSE 2]
I will [C]bellow like the thunder drum, in[G]voke the storm of war
A twisting [Dm]pillar spun of [F]dust and blood, up from the [G]prairie [Am]floor
I will [C]sweep the foe before me like a [G]gale out on the snow
And the [Dm]wind will long recount the story
[F]Reverence and [G]glory, when I [Am]go

[BRIDGE]
Oh oh [G]oh oh oh [C]oh oh oh [Em]oh [Dm7] [F] [G] [Am]


[VERSE 3]
Spring, spirit [G]dancer, [C]nimble and [Em]thin
I will [Dm]leap like co[G]yote when I [Am]go
Tireless en[G]trancer, [C]lend me your [Em]skin
I will [Dm]run like the [G]grey wolf when I [Am]go

[VERSE 4]
I will [C]climb the rise at daybreak, I will [G]kiss the sky at noon
Raise my [Dm]yearning voice at [F]midnight to my mother [G]in the [Am]moon
I will [C]make the lay of long defeat and [G]draw the chorus slow
Send this [Dm]message down the wire
And hope that [F]someone wise is [G]listening when I [Am]go

[INTERLUDE]
[Am] [G] [C] [Em] [Dm7] [F] [G] [Am]

[BRIDGE]
[Am]Ooh ooh ooh [G]ooh ooh, [C]ooh ooh ooh [Em]ooh
Ooh ooh [Dm]ooh, ooh ooh [F]ooh ooh [G]ooh ooh [Am]ooooh

[VERSE 5]
And [C]when the sun comes trumpets from his [G]red house in the east
He will [Dm]find a standing [F]stone where long I've [G]chanted my re[Am]lease
He will [C]send his morning messenger to [G]strike the hammer blow
And I will [Dm]crumble down uncountable
In [F]showers of crimson [G]rubies when I [Am]go

[INTERLUDE]
[Am] [G] [C] [Em] [Dm7] [F] [G] [Am]

[VERSE 6]
Sigh, mournful [G]sister, [C]whisper and [Em]turn
I will [Dm]rattle like [G]dry leaves when I [Am]go
Stand in the [G]mist where my [C]fire used to [Em]burn
I will [Dm]camp on the [G]night breeze when I [Am]go

[VERSE 7]
And [C]should you glimpse my wandering form out [G]on the borderline
Between [Dm]death and resur[F]rection and the council [G]of the [Am]pines
Do not [C]worry for my comfort, do not [G]sorrow for me so
All your [Dm]diamond tears will rise up
And a[F]dorn the sky be[G]side me when I [Am]go

[BRIDGE]
[G]Ohh [C]ohh [Em]ohh
[Dm]Ohh [F]ohh [G]ohh [Am]ohhh

[OUTRO]
Do not [C]worry for my comfort, do not [G]sorrow for me so
All your [Dm]diamond tears will rise up
And a[F]dorn the sky be[G]side me when I [Am]go
[G]Ohh [C]ohh [Em]ohh
[Dm]Ohh [F]ohh [G]ohh [Am]ohhh
