Seminole Wind
John Anderson
Listen to the recording for tempo throughout the song.
Intro: Em G D A (4 times)
Em G
Ever since the days of old
D A
Men would search for wealth untold
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 callin to you like a long lost friend
D A
But I don't 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 D A (2 times)
Em G
Progress came and took its toll
D A
And in the name of flood control
Em G
They made their plans and they drained the land
D A
Now the Glades are goin dry
Em G
And the last time I walked in the swamp
D A
I stood up on a cypruss stump
Em G
I listened close and I heard the ghost
D A
Of Oseola cry
Chorus:
Em G
So blow, blow Seminole wind
D A
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
Em G
I'm callin to you like a long lost friend
D A
But I don't 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
Outro:
Em G D A, Em G D A, Em (strum these chords slowly)
