Chords for Before You Came

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] I dreamed _ [Bm] that I was [Em] riding [Am] in a South Dakota field _ _
And [C] the sweet grass _ [D] whispered to me as [Em] I rode _ _ _ _
Oh, the sun, it was at midday
[Am] It shone hot across my face _ _
_ [D] And our land lay still [C] in grace
_ Yes, a [B] crystal [B] silent place before [E] you came _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] Two _ [B] of my closest [Em]
brothers, _ [Am] they were riding by my side
_ _ [C] And we watched a [D] golden eagle _ [C] fly in circles _ [E] in the sky
_ And we [Em] smiled as our eyes met [A] for our joy we could not [Am] hide
_ [D] Yes, we loved to [C] hunt and ride
_ [B] It was good to be alive _ before you came _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [A] _ [Am] Brother, take my hand and we [A] will [Am] walk this magic _ land [D] [E] together
_ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] Sister, look on high and you [E] will [Am] see
That stones are building in [Em] your sky
[B] _ _
_ Oh, do you wonder why? _ _
_ _ _ [F#] [Em] And when the sun was dying
_ [Am] We had reached the sacred hills
And [C] the sky had caught [D] on fire
_ [C] And all [B] the land [E] was still
It was here all wrapped in blankets
_ _ [Am] In our younger days
_ _ [D] Then we fasted _ [C] and we listened
For the [B] night would bring us visions [E] before you came
[Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ Brother, take my hand for we [D] must [Am] hold
Our [D] fathers' _ land [E] together _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ Sister, look around and you [A] will [Am] see
The scars of battle on [E] this ground _ _
Oh, [B] do you hear the sound? _
