[Verse 1]
       Em
Oh the light
          C
Full moon upon us
    G 
The ancient world
            D
The coyotes cry

[Verse 2]
             Em        
The dogs are runnig now
            C
My heart is racing now
          G
My body’s pacing now
                 D 
But we’re all in stride

[Verse 3]
               Em
I can feel the drums inside
               C
I can hear the buffalo
               G
I can feel the uprise
               D
I can hear the Spanish cries
       Em
On the Pueblo

[Verse 4]
           Em
This is my New Mexico
                 C
This is where my battle cries
                 G
This is where my father died
                D
This is how the falcon flies

[Verse 5]
                 Em
This is where my poet lives
                 C
This is where my feathers rise
                  G
This is where the wreckage lies
                D
This is where I first came alive
       Em   Bm  Em   Bm
On the Pueblo

[Verse 6]
C                        D
And I can hear the heart beat
                     Em   D
In everything around me
    C                    D
And I can hear the heart beat
                     Em   D   Em
In everything around me

[Verse 7]
        Em
Now the time has come
         C
both our worlds have spun
               G
I’ll take some sage from yours
              D
and leave you light from mine

[Verse 8]
             Em
I’ll lay the head dress down
             C
I’ll pray to St. Jerome
                    G
That my wings won’t fail me now
       D
When I fly back home
         Em   Bm   Em   Bm
From the Pueblo

[Verse 9]
    C                    D
And I can hear the heart beat
                     Em   D
In everything around me
    C                    D
And I can hear the heart beat
                     Em   D  Em
In everything around me
