_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sweet eyes [F#m] of my father In my [A] own eyes [E] I can see
The vision [F#m] of the ancient _ [A] Cherokee
_ _ [E] Sweet _ _ _ sacred [F#m] _ inspiration [A] That he passes on [E] down to me
The heartbeat _ [F#m] of the gentle _ _
[A] _ Cherokee
_ [E] _ And [B] I heard him say That's [F#m] just the way [C#m] love is
[F#m] When love has bliss
_ [E] And _ [A] we will walk the [E] mighty circle
[A] Double cross _ [E] the hands of time
That [G#] man will cry [A] his eagles die
[E] Till we get to the other side [F#m] Put on our wings and fly _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [E] The soul _ [F#m] of sweet forgiveness [A] Who walks his path [E] with dignity
_ With the wisdom _ [F#m] of the ancient [A] living Cherokee
I [E] _ _ _ _ [E] come from [F#m] his deep water As [A] much like him [E] as I can be
And I carry [F#m] my own children _ [A] _ Promising [E] the Cherokee
And [B] I heard him pray [F#m] That everywhere [C#m] God is
Let [F#m] freedom live
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] Unity will walk that [E] sacred circle
[A] Double cross [E] the hands of time
As nations [G#]
die, [A] hearts unite Till [E] we get to the other side
[F#m] Put on our wings and fly _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ Son of God, oh, my, [G#] sing of mother earth
Let [C#m] every man be free
Let [G#] every voice be [C] heard
Let [A] every child be born
[F#m] Knowing the way
_ _ [E] _ _
And [A] we will walk that [E] sacred circle
[A] Join our hands [E] across all time
Living [G#] in peace, [A] we believe
_ [E] We're gonna get to the other side
[F#m] We're gonna put on our wings and fly
[E] When we get to the other side
[F#m] Join our voices across the sky
[E] Till we get to the other side
[F#m] We're gonna wear all our Cherokee pride
[E] When we get to the other side
[F#m] We're gonna leave this world behind
[E] When we get to the other side
[F#m] We're gonna put on our wings and fly
When [E] we get to the other side
[F#m] Join our voices across the sky
[E] Till we get to the other side
