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
