C-G-Am-F (with pinky playing G note on high E string on all four chords)
FWillie says,C G
Here's a Amstory that you F may not comprehend C G
But the Am parking lot will F crack and bloom C again G
There's a Am world beneath the F pavement, that will C never end G
The Am seeds are lying F dormant, it will C never end G Am F

And Willie says
If you listen you can hear the sound of birds
Here their song above the chaos, hear their words
Listen to their love song that will never end
The seeds are lying dormant, it will never end
If you listen you may hear

Em And the old one Am sits with me F above the G city
Em While I watch the Am madness of the F world below G
Em Then she laughs and Am tells me that its F temporary G
Em Underneath the wild garden F waits to G grow

And Willie says
When you say you are afraid I understand
In a place where one can rarely smell the land
But the ocean breeze still blows here, that will never end
The seeds are lying dormant, it will never end

And Willie says
If you listen to this tree you'll hear its song
Its the music that my people pass along
Its a dream that keeps returning that will never end
The seeds are lying dormant, it will never end
If you listen you may hear

And Willie says
Here's a story that you may not comprehend
But the forest here will rise and bloom again
There's a world beneath the pavement, that will never end
The seeds are lying dormant, it will never end
Listen to their love song that will never end
Its a dream that keeps returning that will never end
