 Capo 1
 
 C               
 So come sit down
          Am           G   
 Will you talk with me now?
 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
 
 C                   
 You know some people
           F             C 
 They just wont understand
           F            C        G     
 They just wont understand these things
 C                         
 Thank you for your message
       F              C 
 But I don't understand
            F             G       C     
 No, I just wont understand these things
 
             C          
 This sacred land it has
 Am         G           
 Seen many hands, it has
    C                     
 Wealth and gold yet it is
 Am           G             
 Fragile and old and all the
 Am     G                Am       G  
 Greedy souls just don't care to know
 Am                 G           C 
 Of the changes it will confront
 
 C                       
 So speak out loud of the
 Am              G   
 Things you are proud
 C                         
 And if you love this coast
         Am           G     
 Keep it clean as it evolves
         Am           G    
 Cos the way that it shines
          Am            G  
 May just dwindle with time
 Am                   G           C 
 With the changes it will confront

 The ones that get to your soul
 C                      
 So that when it is cold
          Am       G   
 You wont feel so alone
         Am              G  
 Cos the roads that you take
          Am         G   
 May just crack and break
 Am                    G           C 
 With the changes you will confront
 
 C                            
 With each gift that you share
         Am        G    
 You may heal and repair
 C                             
 With each choice that you make
         Am              G 
 You may help someone's day
        Am            G    
 Well I know you are strong
          Am          G  
 May your journey be long
 Am                  G       C  
 Now I wish you the best of luck
        Am            G    
 Well I know you are strong
          Am          G  
 May your journey be long
 Am                      G       C  
 And now I wish you the best of luck
