Verse 

Am                D   F                E   Am E7 
Gazing at the fire      burning by the water 
Am Am/G     D          F      G        Am Am/G   Esus4   F G 
  before he speaks the world around us quiets 

       Am                   D  F                    E  Am E7 
With eyes as sharp as arrows     and turning to the fire 
Am              D                      Am     Am/G  Em F G 
  He clears the air and cuts it with a feather

Verse 

Am              D  F                 E   Am E7 
Many in a circle   slowly ‘round the fire 
Am           D       Am      E7       Am Am/G   Esus4   F G 
  When he is gone, I want to know him better 
Am                 D  F            E     Am E7 
No one is forsaken     no one is a liar 
Am              D                   Am   Am/G      D    Am Am/G  
  He plants the tree of life on our foreheads with water

Verse 

Bb        Bb7sus4             G7              C7 F 
  He hums   there are drums,     four winds,   rising suns 
Am    Am/G    Fmaj7  D7     F   C   F      G  A   G A A 
We are singing   and playing I hear what he’s saying 

           Am  Am/G     Em       F        Am Am/G F    Em D 
I remember breezes from winds inside your body    keep me  high 
       Am      Am/G  Em       F        Am Am/G F   E    D 
Like I told you I’ll sing to them this story   and know why
