Am
On the limbs and branches of the trees
N.C.
It humbled me to know that I walked thru
So many people’s prayers and I wrote this song
Am
On the way down it’s called
N.C Am
Walkin through the prayers from Bear Butte
[Verse 1]
Am
Blackbirds flying, through the darkness
Em
Shooting stars, out in space
AmD Am
Unseen spirits, like phantoms hover
Dm Em7 Am
Like cherub bells from the holy place
Am
Where some have prayed, prayers for freedom
Em
Some beg mercy for their pain
[Verse 2]
EAm7D7 Am7
Some have shared life’s dreams and visions
Dm7 Em7 Am
When they came down they weren’t the same
G F Am
Step by step, I see my shadow
F C Em7 E7
My true soul, walks with me there
Am G F D F
I shed my tears, I climb this mountain
AmE A Em Am7
As I go walking, through the prayers
[Verse 3]
Am
Majestic form, atop earth's mesa
E
The rocks bear witness, to the truth
Am DmAm
As I kneel down, and lift my spirit
Dm Em Am
To the holy wonder, at Bear Beat
[Solo]
