D            A
Boy and his dog
G                         D
Went out looking for the rainbow
Bm       F#m       Em      F#m  G
You know what did they learn
G                A
Since that very day

Walking by the river
And running like a blue streak
Through the fields of streams and meadows
Laughing all the way

D            A
Oh redwood tree
G             D
Please let us under
Bm           F#m              Em F#m G
When we were young we used to go
A                  D
Under the redwood tree

And it smells like rain
Maybe even thunder
Won't you keep us from all harm?
Wonderful redwood tree

And a boy and his father
Went out, went out looking for the lost dog
You know what, oh, haven't they learned
Since they did that together

They did not bring him back
He already had departed
But look at everything they have learned
Since that, since that very day

Oh, redwood tree
Please let us under
When we were young we used to go
Under the redwood tree

And it smells like rain
Maybe even thunder
Won't you keep us from all harm?
Wonderful redwood tree
