C
Warm are the winds on the desert

A whirlwind is dancin around
 F              Em         F             C
I stopped to survey all the beauty that's here
      Am                        F
When a shadow moves up cross the ground
C
It's an eagle and it circles above me
      F                             Em
And he screams to his friends on the hill
F           Em     F          C
Stay close together move not a feather
F        Em          F        Em
Man walks among us be still be still
F        G           C
Man walks among us be still


C
Everything hides, but I see them

I spotted an old mother quail
 F             Em           F             C
I turn round to see, looking right back at me
   Am                     F
The eyes of a young cottontail
C
Somewhere a coyote's sneaking
     F                              Em
As he roams through the brush on the hill
       F             Em         F            C
And the eagle screams don't stay close to the ground
F        Em          F        Em
Man walks among us be still be still
F        G           C
Man walks among us be still


C
Soon will be gone all the desert

Cities will cover each hill
  F            Em   F       C
Today will just be a sad memory
F        Em          F        Em
Man walks among us be still be still
F        G           C
Man walks among us be still

Lyrics

Warm are the winds on the desert
A whirlwind is dancing around
I stopped to survey all the beauty that's here
When a shadow moves up cross the ground
It's an eagle and it circles above me
And he screams to his friends on the hill
Stay close together move not a feather
Man walks among us be still be still
Man walks among us be still

Everything hides, but I see them
I spotted an old mother quail
I turn round to see, looking right back at me
The eyes of a young cottontail
Somewhere a coyote's sneaking
As he roams through the brush on the hill
And the eagle screams don't stay close to the ground
Man walks among us be still be still
Man walks among us be still

Soon will be gone all the desert
Cities will cover each hill
Today will just be a sad memory
Man walks among us be still be still
Man walks among us be still

I stopped to survey all the beauty that's here
Am                          F
When a shadow moves out across the ground 

 C                   Am
It's an eagle that circles above me

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
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
                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

Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

Soon will be gone all the desert
Cities will cover each hill
Today will just be a fond memory
Man walks among us be still be still
Man walks among us be still
