Intro
G     Em    G    E


Verse 1

G             Em       Bm         Em
Leaf falls to kiss the image of a mountain

    G             Em                 Am          
the early morning mist has ceased to play

C             D              G             Em 
Birds dancing lightly on the branches by a fountain

     C               D                G 
Of a waterfall which dazzles with its spray


 
Verse 2

G                   Em       Bm           Em
Tall and strong and aged, contented and serene
 
    G          Em                 Am        
The kauri tree surveys this grand domain 

    C                D            G              Em 
For miles and miles around him, a sea of rolling green 

  C               D            G 
Tomorrow all this beauty won't remain 

  

Chorus

         C             D
Damn the dam cried the fantail, 

      G               B7            E
As he flew into as he flew into the sky, 

        F            G
To give power to the people

          C      Am     Em        
 All this beauty has to die 




Verse 3


G               Em        Bm              Em
Rain falls from above and splashes on the ground 

     G                Em              Am
Goes running down the mountain to the sea

    C            D             G             Em 
And leaping over pebbles makes such a joyful sound 

C              D                G 
Such is Mother Nature's gift to me



Verse 4

G            Em              Bm           Em
I have grave reflection,  reflection of a grave

G                     Em                 Am
Trees that once lived green now dead and brown

    C             D           G               Em 
The homes of tiny animals and little birds as well

        C             D                     G 
For the sake of man's progression have been drowned



Chorus

         C             D
Damn the dam cried the fantail, 

      G               B7            E
As he flew into as he flew into the sky, 

        F            G
To give power to the people

         C      Am     Em       
All this beauty has to die 



Instrumental



Chorus

Damn the dam cried the fantail, 

      G               B7            E
As he flew into as he flew into the sky, 



Chorus

         C             D
Damn the dam cried the fantail, 

      G               B7            E
As he flew into as he flew into the sky, 

        F            G
To give power to the people

          C      Am     Em        Am      E
 All this beauty has to die
