Steve Brooks - Walking With The Elders
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C F C
My head is back, my eyes are open
Looking in a line unbroken
Up to where the leaves are waving
Half the way from here to heaven
F Dm7
Walking with the elders
C
On a Carolina mountainside
F Dm7
I'm walking with the elders
F C
And their arms are open wide
Long before the dawn of science
God begot a race of giants
Cut to clear, cut to timber
Hidden here, a few have lingered
F Dm7
Walking with the elders
C
On a Carolina mountainside
F Dm7
I'm walking with the elders
F C
And they will not be denied
CHORUS:
G F
Carry on a conversation
C G
With an ancient generation
F
Though I cannot speak the language
C F G C
Still my soul can understand it
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F Dm7 C
Plant a tree, seed a forest
Praise the ones that come before us
They will see the changing seasons
When I'm in the ground beneath them
F Dm7
Walking with the elders
C
On a Carolina mountainside
F Dm7
I'm walking with the elders
F C
And the elders will abide
CHORUS:
G F
Carry on a conversation
C G
With an ancient generation
F
Though I cannot speak the language
C F G C
Still my soul can understand it
INTERLUDE: C

Looking in a line unbroken
C N.C.
Up to where the leaves are waving

Half the way from here to heaven

And the elders will abide

I'm walking with the elders

And the elders will abide
