[VERSE 1:]
D
I climbed the Redwood Hill
Em B7
'Twas on a rainy day
C G
To rise above the throng
A7 D7
And talk with Mother Nature for a while
[VERSE 2:]
G D
She told me of her love
Em B7
For the children in her trust
C G
And of her grave concern
A7 C G
For the likes of you and me and us
[CHORUS:]
Em
Crying though she was
G
She did speak these tender words
C Am C
"The things that I am
D
I could not change for any man"
[VERSE 3:]
G D
I tried to comfort her
Em B7
Ah, but she would not be still
C G
And how the rain did fall
A7 C G
As I found my way back down the Redwood Hill

Crying though she was

She did speak these tender words
C Am C
"The things that I am
D
I would not change for any man"
[VERSE 4:]

I tried to comfort her
Em B7
Ah, but she would not be still

I'll not forget that day

When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill

I'll not forget that day

When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill
