Walkin' Jim Stoltz Listen To The Earth
(Capo third fret)
G C G C G
1) Have you ever heard the coyotes howl, their ballads
to the stars?
C Em C D
The only sound for miles around, you can hear it from
afar.
C G C D
The same old song they've been singin' now since the
lion learned to roar.
C G Em C D G
There's something there I know there is, if we listen
to the Earth once more.
2) Have you ever heard the giants fall, when it's
silent in the wood?
Falling down all from their heights, 300 years they've
stood.
Time has reaped its harvest now, upon the forest floor,
There's something there I know there is,
If we listen to the Earth once more.
3) Have you ever heard the river talk, the voices in
the stream?
Hear the laughter in the joy, the terror in the scream.
There's purity just in the flow, and strength within
the roar,
There's something there, I know there is,
If we listen to the Earth once more.
Bridge: C D C D
But our age is racin' by, too busy to catch the eye
C D
Of the sea gull as she's racing over the strand.
C D C D
And we're always racing time, to find our peace of
mind,
C D
But it's all right there, right where it all began.
4) Have you ever heard the factory roar, smelled the
sewage in the stream?
Have you ever choked just from the air, the stuff we've
rated clean ?
We strip the land, we cut the forests, we hush the
river's roar,
But there's something there, I know there is,
If we listen to the Earth,
If we listen to the Earth,
If we listen to the Earth ....... once more.
