Chords

by Mandolin Orange Chords in parantheses just indicate movement in the bass note. They never play it the same twice in a row, so they're mostly optional and you can add or subtract them as you feel led. [Intro] G G Em (F#) G D G (B) C C Em (F#) G (B) C D Em D C D G G [Verse 1]
       G                                 (F#)        Em                 (F#)   G
Well I try to close my eyes, clear my mind, and just listen to the wildflowers growing

         D                      G                        C
But such whispers on the breeze, they don't come easy now over all this noise

Em                 (F#)    G     C                          D
I spent my youth among the pines, they used to sing a tune so fine

        Em  D              C     D              G
And the wind moved like an echo, carrying their voices
[Verse 2]
      G                                            Em                        (F#)      G
But I saw it in a dream, monuments of trees as the air we breathed turned our lungs to dust

        D                G                       C
And the redwoods so tall, in all their awe, began to rust

Em               (F#)    G  (B) C                    D
With no bend and sway at all,      that ancient dance was lost

        Em  D              C            D          G
And the wind moved like an echo, with a sigh in every gust
[Interlude] G G (F#) Em (F#) G D G C C Em (F#) G C D Em D C D G G [Bridge]
         Bm                      C                            G                         D
Well someday I hope to find that land of honey wine where the coffee grows on the white oak trees

          Am                            Em                      C
And those sugar-coated mountains in the spring begin to melt into the sweetest streams
[Verse 3]
Em                    (F#)             G   C                D
Where each night the starlight and the sea together form eternity

        Em  D              C           D              G
And the wind moves like an echo as the world drops off to sleep
