EbmEbm9 This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
Ebm9Abm/EbEbm9 Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns
 
EbmEbm9 Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young
Ebm9Abm/EbEbm9 I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums
 
EbmEbm9 I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
Ebm9Abm/EbEbm9 To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine
 
EbmEbm9 And now you ask that I should watch the red man's race be slowly crushed
Ebm9Abm/EbEbm9 What kind of words are these to hear from Yellow Dog whom white man fears

GBm/F#EmG/DCAm/DEmD I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
GBm/F#EmG/DC Am/DEmD I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride
Am7DGC/G I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
Em7Am7GF6/9AmGC (***) Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run
 
GBm/F#EmG/DCAm/DEmD Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand
GBm/F#EmG/DCAm/DEmD Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands
Am7DGC/G I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead

EmG/DCG/B Now there seems no reason why I should carry on
Am7G/BCD In this land that once was my land I can't find a home
 
EmG/DCG/B It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
AmG/BCD And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running
 
EmG/DCG/B For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones
AmG/BCD Where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns
 
EmG/DCG/B And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
AmG/BCEm (Em7/DCmaj7Em)**** And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet ho________________le.
