This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
Ebm9 Abm Ebm7
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns
Ebm Ebm9
Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young
Abm Ebm9
I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums
Ebm Ebm7
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
Ebm9 Abm Ebm9
To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine
Ebm
And now you ask that I should watch
Ebm Ebm7 Ebm9
The red man's race be slowly crushed
Ebm Abm
What kind of words are these to hear
Ebm9
From Yellow Dog whom white man fears
Ebm7

I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
G Bm/F#Em G/D C Am/D Em D
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride

I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
Em7 Am7 G Am G
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run
G Bm/F# Em G/D C Am/D Em D

Now there seems no reason why I should carry on

In this land that once was my land I can't find a home
Em G/D C G/B
It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
Am G/B C D
And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running
Em G/D C G/B
For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones
Am G/B C D
Where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns
Em G/D C G/B
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
Em7/D D
