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 sways. 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 calling 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 And the last time I walked in the swamp, D A I sat upon a Cypress stump, Em G I listened close and I heard the ghost, D A Of Osceola cry. Chorus Instrumental / Outro : Em G D A (x5) Em ( here i usually play and awesome solo or something but you can just play the intro if want for a sentimental ending)
