  			C                         Am 
Warm are the winds on the desert  
C                      Em 
A whirlwind is dancing around 
  F          Em             Dm            C 
I stopped to survey all the beauty that's here 
       Am                          F      G 
When a shadow moves out across the ground  

        C                   Am 
It's an eagle that circles above me 
       C                             Em 
And he screams to his friends on the hill 
F          Em       Dm         C 
Stay close together move not a feather 
Dm        Em          Dm       Em 
Man walks among us be still be still 
Dm        G7          C 
Man walks among us be still  

                       Am 
Everything hides but I see them 
     C                     Em 
I've spotted an old mother quail 
  F              Em          Dm            C 
I look close and see looking right back at me 
    Am                    F    G 
The eyes of a young cottontail 

  C            Am 
I see a coyote sneaking as he crawls 
                         Em 
Through the brush on the hill 
        F             Em        Dm           C 
And the eagle screams down stay close to the ground 
Dm        Em          Dm       Em 
Man walks among us be still be still 
Dm        G7          C 
Man walks among us be still 

F                       Em 
Twenty feet high in the side of a Cactus 
F                      C 
I see a hole where the Butcher bird stays 
   F                           Em 
If mortals could choose and if Heaven should ask us 
D7                             G7 
Here's where I'd want to spend all of my days 

C                         Am 
Soon will be gone all the desert 
C                      Em 
Cities will cover each hill 
  F             Em   Dm       C 
Today will just be a fond memory 
Dm        Em          Dm       Em 
Man walks among us be still be still 
Dm         G7         C 
Man walks among us be still
