C Let me see through your eyes Am G Where there is so much life Am G We are biding our time Am G For these myths to unwind Am G C These changes we will confront C So please beware Am G With every place that you head C Look to your soul Am G For these things that you know Am G For the trees that we see Am G Cannot forever breathe Am G C With the changes they will confront Chorus: Chords (patterned strumming) OR TAB: C F C F C G E-----------—---------------—----------------------------------------------| B--1--------1--------1--------1--------1--------1--------0--------0--------| G-----0--------0--------2--------0--------2--------0--------0--------0-----| D--------2--------2--------3--------2--------3--------2--------0--------0--| A--3--------------------------3--------------------------------------------| E--------------------1-----------------1-----------------3-----------------| C F C F G C E-----------—---------------—----------------------------------------------| B--1--------1--------1--------1--------1--------0-------1--------1---------| G-----0--------0--------2--------0--------2--------0-------0--------0------| D--------2--------2--------3--------2--------3-------0--------2--------2---| A--3--------------------------3-------------------------3------------------| E--------------------1-----------------1--------3--------------------------| You know some people They just wont understand They just wont understand these things Thank you for your message But I don't understand No, I just wont understand these things Pre-Verse: Guitar 1: C C G C Guitar 2: E----3--5--0—---3-------3-—----------------| B------------------3/5-----3/5--3---3--1---| G------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------| All Verses: C Am G Am G C E--------------------------------- ------------------ ----------------| B--1--------1--------1--------0--- -----1-------0---- -1-------1------| G-----0--------0--------2--------0 --------2-------0- ----0-------0---| D--------2--------2--------2------x2--------2-------0x3------2------2-| A--3-----------------0------------ -----0------------ -3--------------| E-----------------------------3--- -------------3---- ----------------| All verse tab x2 Verse2: For this sacred land It has seen many hands It has wealth and gold Yet it is fragile and old And all the greedy souls Just don't care to know Of the changes it will confront So speak out loud Of the things you are proud And if you love this coast Then keep it clean as it hopes 'Cause the way that it shines May just dwindle with time With the changes it will confront Chorus x2 Pre-verse: Guitar 1: C C G C Guitar 2: E----3--5--0—---3-------3-—5--0-----3--5--0--3-------3--------------| B------------------3/5-----------3--------------3/5-----5/3--3--1---| G-------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| E---8--5--3—-3/5--3-----0—3/5-—3-----0--3---3--5--0—3/5--0-----0-------| B--------------------3------------3-------------------------3----3-3-1-| G----------------------------------------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse3: So hold nice and close Once you get to your soul So that when it is cold You won't feel so alone 'Cause the roads that you take May just crack and break With the changes you will confront With each gift that you share You may heal and repair With each choice you make You may help someone's day Well I know you are strong May your journey be long And now I wish you the best of luck Well I know you are strong May your journey be long And now I wish you the best of luck.
