Seminole Wind




Seminole Winds
by John Anderson

Em             G           D7                   Am
Ever since the days of old men would search for wealth untold
Em                      G            D7              Am
They dig for silver and for gold and leave the empty holes
    Em                    G
And way down south in the Everglades
          D7                        Am
Where the black water rolls and the Saw grass waves
Em                     G                  D7          Am
The eagles fly and the Otters play in the land of the Seminole

   Em        G             D7                         Am
So blow blow Seminole wind blow like your never gonna blow again
Em                        G                    D7             Am
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend but I know who you are
    Em                 G           D7                Am
And blow blow from the Okeechobee  all the way up to Micanopy
Em                         G            D7                 Am
Blow cross the home of the Seminole the alligators and the Garr

Em                G                 D7             Am
Progress came and took its toll and in the name of flood control
   Em                          G
They make their plans and they drained the land
D7                 Am
Now the glades are going dry
        Em                 G              D7         Am
And the last time I walked in the swamp I sat upon a cypress stump
Em                     G                  D7      Am
I listened close and I heard the ghost of Osceola cry

Repeat #2
