	  		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 



     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 


     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
