Verse:
    D          F               C         G
Oh,   kiss the mountain air we breathe
     D        F       C      G
Good-bye it's time to fly.
D                  F                 C
Sparrow climb, the air is thinner,
     G               C             F        C     G
Open wings cast this valley in the shade.


Chorus:
F               Bb
Fires dance the shadows
F                 Bb
Winds whisper the trees
F                  Bb
Mother talkin' the water's
F                Bb                D
Spirit moves, it moves through all things.
