Capo 1

Intro: C F C C F F C C Am F C Am F C C F G C

C F C
I Think I'll look around for a whooping crane
F C C\B
I Think I'll look around for a whooping crane

Am F C
What do you think this pain is God?
Am F C
You think I'm uptight but I'm not
F
It's just that, I look around for a whooping crane
G C
and I can't find one.
C F C
So, I Think I'll look around for a drinking stream
F C C\B
I think I'll look around for a drinking stream
Am F C
They say you turned the water to wine
Am F C
And they must have been right this time because
F G C C C\B Am
I look around for a drinking stream and I can't find one.

Am F C C|B Am
Mighty red man painted ponies proud
Am F C
Fallen Eagle, feathers on the ground
F Am7 Dm C
and the bullets they spin your dreams around
F Am7 Dm C
and they paint your face on a penny brown


Break: (Full Verse)

So, I think I'll look around for the yellow stones

I think I'll look around for the yellow stones

Set your eyes on the eagle's flight,

Cause the, the eyes of God have lost their sight. Because,

I look around for the yellow stones, but I can't find none.

Mighty red man painted ponies proud

and they paint your face on a penny brown
