Seminole Wind by John Anderson
Seminole Wind
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Em G D A x2
[Verse]
Em G
Ever since the days of old
D A
Men would search for wealth untold
Em G
They'd dig for silver and for gold
D A
And leave the empty holes;
Em G
And way down south in the Everglades
D A
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves
Em G
The eagles fly and the otters play
D A
In the land of the Seminole;
[Chorus]
Em G
So blow, blow Seminole wind
D A
Blow like you're never gonna blow again;
Em G
I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend
D A
But I know who you are;
Em G
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
D A
All the way up to Micanopy
Em G
Blow across the home of the Seminole
D A
The alligators and the gar
Em G D A x2
[Verse]
Em G
Progress came and took its toll
D A
And in the name of flood control
Em G
They made their plans and they drained the land
D A
Now the Glades are goin' dry
Em G
And the last time I walked in the swamp
D A
I stood up on a cypress stump
Em G
I listened close and I heard the ghost
D A
Of Osceola cry
[Chorus]
Em G
So blow, blow Seminole wind
D A
Blow like you're never gonna blow again;
Em G
I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend
D A
But I know who you are;
Em G
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
D A
All the way up to Micanopy
Em G
Blow across the home of the Seminole
D A
The alligators and the gar
[Outro]
Em G D A x3
