It was a place
where the hippies won
G
In the land of the Subaru
D
Where the dream was never done
G
And there still was room for you
A
In the valley of the Rio Grande
G
North of the Taos Plateau
D
People there would lend a hand
A
G
and leave you room to grow,
D

It was back in seventeen,
G
the summer before the fall
D
Hope was being squeezed
G
by the bums who had it all
A
But there was music all around
G
because the people dared to sing
A
You know they made such a sound
G
that they could face anything, anything

Well,

some made a little fire

So the big fire wouldn't burn

The word rose like smoke

And the winds began to turn
A
Above the Taos Plateau

In the valley of the Rio Grande

A new sound took hold
G
and resonated with the land,

In a place where the hippies won

and a Subaru would do

The hard times came on,

harder than they ever knew

But they would build again,

sand, clay and straw
A
They found a new well within,
G
and made an even deeper draw
D

Deeper draw
