Medicine Man Chords by Robert Mirabal

_ When I was growing up, I met a holy man, a medicine man from one of the southern [C#] pueblos.
_ _ [G] One day while watching the sunset, I asked him why he had never [D#] married.
And he said,
_ _ A long time ago when I was young, I played the flute for a woman and we fell in love.
But I was called to fight for [N] my country and when I came home, she had married another. _
