I [Em] dreamed _ that I was [E] riding [Am] _ _ in a South Dakota field, _ _ [C] and the sweet grass _ [D] whispered to me,
there's a [Em] road, _ _ _ _ where the sun it was a _ -bending, _ [Am] _ and it shone hot across my face, _ [D] and the land
lay still [C] in grace, _ _ yes a [B] crystal silent place, that home, [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] my _ closest brother, _ _ _ [Am] _
was right by
my side, _ _ [C] and I watched _ golden [D] eagle, fly in [C] circles in the [Em] sky, _ _ [E] and they smiled as our eyes met,
[Em] _ _ [Am] for it was a way we could not have, _ yes [D] with love to [C] heart and right, _ it was [B] good to be alive,
yes it was good to be alive, brother _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Am] take my hand and [Am] we will [D] walk [Am] this magic land [D] _ _ [E] together,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] sister look on high and you will see, storms are building [Em] in your sky, [B] _ _ brother do you wonder
why, _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
when [Em] the souls die, _ _ [Am] _
in peace they sit and heal _ _ [C] the sky, [D] and the dead are caught on fire,
_ [C] oh the land is [A] still, _ [E] yellows here are wrapped in blankets, _ [Am] _ _
and on hilly days, _ _ [D] fasted,
the _ [C] _ _ _ _ [B] night would bring us visions _ [B] before you came, _ _ _ _ _ [D] brother take my [E] _ hand and we will [D] walk,
our fathers land _ _ [E] _
together, _ _ _ _ _ [D] sister [E] look on high and you [D] will see, the skies above [G] are all [Em] on this ground,
_ [B] _ _ _ oh do you hear the sounds, _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _

_ _ _ _ [Em] _ the dreams that I was _ writing, [Em] _ such a golden field, _ and the [C] sweet grass, _
[B] whisper to me, [Em] as I wrote, _ _ _ _ oh the _ song it was that made me, _ _ [Am] it shone hot across my face,
_ _ [D] and the land lay still [C] in grace, [B] here's a crystal silent place, _ _ _ _ _ _ before _ _
_ [B] you _ _ _ _ _ came.
