Seminole Wind

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
 [Em]     [G]      [D]     [A]

 [Em]     [G]      [D]     [A]

 [Em]    Ever since the [G]days of old

 [D]     Men would search for [A]wealth untold

 [Em]    They'd dig for silver [G]and for gold

 And [D]leave the empty [A]holes;

 And [Em]way down south in the [G]Everglades

 Where the [D]black water rolls and the [A]saw grass waves

 [Em]  The eagles fly and the [G]otters play

 In the [D]land of the Semi[A]nole;

|So [Em]blow, blow [G]Seminole wind
|
|[D]Blow like you're never gonna [A]blow again;
|
|[Em]  I'm callin' to you like a [G]long-lost friend
|
|But [D]I don't know who you [A]are;
|
|And [Em]blow, blow from the [G]Okeechobee
|
|[D]All the way up to [A]Micanopy    (pronounced: Meh-can-o-pee)
|
|[Em]Blow across the home of the [G]Seminole
|
|The [D]aligator and the [A]gull
|

 [Em]     [G]      [D]     [A]

 [Em]     [G]      [D]     [A]

 Progress came and took its toll
 And in the name of flood control
 They made their plans and they drained the land
 Now the Glades are goin' dry
 And the last time I walked in the swamp
 I stood up on a cypruss stump
 I listened close and I heard the ghost
 Of Oseola cry

|So [Em]blow, blow [G]Seminole wind
|
|[D]Blow like you're never gonna [A]blow again;
|
|[Em]  I'm callin' to you like a [G]long-lost friend
|
|But [D]I don't know who you [A]are;
|
|And [Em]blow, blow from the [G]Okeechobee
|
|[D]All the way up to [A]Micanopy    (pronounced: Meh-can-o-pee)
|
|[Em]Blow across the home of the [G]Seminole
|
|The [D]aligator and the [A]gull
