[Verse 1]
N.C. D E7 A7 Where the snowy peaks gleam in the moonlight, D F# E7 A7 Above the dark forests of pine, D A7 C#7 F#m And the wild foaming waters dash onward, Em A7 D Toward lands where the tropic stars shine; A7 D Where the scream of the bold mountain eagle, G D E7 A7 Responds to the notes of the dove, Em A7 D7 G Is the purple robed West, the land that is best, D G D A7 D The pioneer land that we love.
[Chorus]
n.c A7 Tis the land where the columbines grow, D Overlooking the plains far below, A7 While the cool summer breeze in the evergreen trees, D A7 D Softly sings where the columbines grow.
[Verse 2]
D E7 A7 The bison is gone from the upland, D F# E7 A7 The deer from the canyon has fled, D A7 C#7 F#m The home of the wolf is deserted, Em A7 D The antelope moans for his dead, A7 D The war whoop re-echoes no longer, G D E7 A7 The Indian's only a name, Em A7 D7 G And the nymphs of the grove in their loneliness rove, D G D A7 D But the columbine blooms just the same.
[Verse 3]
D E7 A7 Let the violet brighten the brookside, D F# E7 A7 In sunlight of earlier spring, D A7 C#7 F#m Let the fair clover bedeck the green meadow, Em A7 D In days when the orioles sing, A7 D Let the goldenrod herald the autumn, G D E7 A7 But, under the midsummer sky, Em A7 D7 G In its fair Western home, may the columbine bloom, D G D A7 D Till our great mountain rivers run dry.
