Tonart: G minor
Verse 1
Bb
Bm
a long time ago when I was a young girl,
my family like many other families
would gather around
Bm
and sing in front of the fire.

They all sang so beautifully,
and Myak -Noah, my mother,
had such a special way of singing.
Bb
Em
I wished I could sing just like her,
but every time I opened my mouth,
just like you, I'd squeak.
My Aknowa tried to help me learn,
but I was so embarrassed, I just couldn't.
One night, everyone was gathered together,
and the singing was so beautiful.

Then something terrible happened.
My mother, always trying to encourage me,
turned and said to me,
Honey, why don't you sing a little bit?
I couldn't believe it! She wanted me to
sing in front of everybody!
All by myself!
You can guess what
happened.
You squeaked?
D
Em
It was so embarrassing.
Some of my cousins started to giggle.
I tried again.
Another squeak?
More kids laughed.
My mother tried to
comfort me.
Instead, I pushed past her.
There was a sad look in her eyes
as I ran off into the woods,
angry and hurt.
Before I knew it,
I was a long way from home,
deep into the forest,
lost for sure.
Em
Yad wasantos.
The sun was setting.
Everyone was saying goodnight.
The frogs were croaking.
The crickets were chirping,
the robins and the sparrow
Em
and the hawks were calling
to each other,
and the wind was whistling
Em
through the maple trees.
There on the hillside
was a family of wolves,
Em
howling and singing with each other.
I knew I was part of the wolf clan,
so maybe I could sing like Tahun, the wolf.
I wanted to sing so bad.
I tried howling,
but it came out all wrong. Oh!
They looked at me,
and it seemed like they were laughing at me,
too. Oh, I felt so sorry for myself.
