Eliza Gilkyson - Song Of The Rainbow Warrior (Parts 1 and 2)
## Part 1 ##
D
Back in nineteen sixty-nine
G Em
I took everything I owned
Asus2
And flew out to California
G D
One more reckless rolling stone
A child of the Sixties
G Em
Headed for the great unknown
Asus2
But I was looking to find a rainmaker
G D
In a land he once called home
When I rode into Santa Fe
G Em
I was running out of steam
Asus2
I took up with some people there
G D
Who were living out their dream
And gentle hands revealed my heart
G Em
And laughter made me whole
Asus2
I walked the legends of rainmaker
G D
Who were window to my soul
[Refrão] G Em A
And drew? I was a rainbow warrior
Em G A D
Crossing clouded canyons above the coke and chains
G Em A
And drew? I was a rainbow warrior
Em G A
Dances were the maker of the rains
## Part 2 ##
D
The desert bleached my reason
G Em
Possession slipped away
Asus2
The sun beat down and burned the ground
G D
I thanked it every day
When I called out for the rainmaker
G Em
And danced a ritual rite
Asus2
The answers came on clouds of rain
G D
And thunder through the night
[Refrão] G Em A
And drew? I was a rainbow warrior
Em G A D
Crossing clouded canyons above the coke and chains
G Em A
And drew? I was a rainbow warrior
Em G A
Dances were the maker of the rains
Chorus: (## sung in a Native American tongue ##)
