Ah, now I know what you're talking about, dilly dally! It was in the first fakebook I looked in Hal Leonard's The Book (1994)


Eb   Fm7 Gm7 Eb   Ab Bb7 Eb
Brother Sun, and Sister Moon
Cm Bb Fm Gm
I seldom see you,
Fm7    Bb7       Eb   Cm
Seldom hear your tune
    Eb Fm Gm      Ab      Bb7 Eb
Preoccupied with selfish misery


Brother Wind, and Sister Air
Open my eyes to visions pure and fair
So I may see the glory around me.

Ab          Gm
I am God's creature
    Ab Bb7   Eb
Of him I am part
Cm Cm7 Fm7 Gm
I feel his love
Fm          Bb7sus Bb7
Awakening my heart.


There you have it. Sure is a lot more complicated than any chords I ever learned to play, but I'm not much of a guitarist. It sure seems like there should be an easier arrangement, since the tune is quite simple. You can watch a very nice YouTube video here (click). Sheet music is here (click).
