        Em  G  D  A     

 Em             G            D        
Ever since the days of old - Men would
        A
Search for wealth untold
Em                            G      D 
They'd dig for silver and for gold - And
                  A
Leave the empty holes
 Em                      G 
And way down south in the Everglades
          D                          A
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass sways
Em                      G 
The eagles fly and the otters play - In the
 D             A
Land of the Seminole
 Em             G 
So blow, blow Seminole wind
D                             A
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
Em                      G 
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
                    A
But I know who you are
 Em                     G              D 
And blow, blow from the Okeechobeev- all
                 A
The way up to Micanopy
Em                          G           D
Blow across the home of the Seminole - The
                    A
Alligators and the gar

Em               G                   D 
Progress came and took its toll - And in
                 A
The name of flood control
 Em                               G 
They made their plans and they drained the land
          D          A
Now the glades are going dry
 Em                              G 
And the last time I walked in the swamp - I
D           A
Sat upon a Cypress stump
 Em                   G                 D 
I listened close and I heard the ghost - Of
         A
Osceola cry
 Em            G 
So blow, blow Seminole wind
D                                  A
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
Em                          G 
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
 D                  A
But I know who you are
 Em                     G             D 
And blow, blow from the Okeechobeev- all
                  A
The way up to Micanopy
Em                           G          D
Blow across the home of the Seminole - The
