[C#m] Out in the desert where the wind never [E]
stops [C#m] A few simple people try to grow a few [E] crops
[A] Trying to maintain a life [E] and a home
[A] Out in land that was there [B] before the [F#] Romans [E] thought of Rome
[C#m] A few dozen survivors, ragged [E] but proud With [C#m] a few woolly sheep and an under [E]-gathering cloud
[A] It's never been easy or free [E] from strife But the pulse of the [B]
land is the pulse [E] of their life
You [A] thought it was over [E] but it's just like before Will [F#m] there [F#] never be an end to the [E] Indian war?

[C#m] It's not breech-loading rifles and [E] wholesale slaughter
[C#m] It's kickbacks and thugs and [E] diverted water
[A] Treaties get signed and the papers [E] change hands
Oh, but they might as well [B] draft these agreements [E] in sand
[C#m] Noble savage on the cinema [E] screen An [C#m] Indian's good when he cannot [E] be seen
[A] And the so-called white, so [E]-called race [A]
[E] Digs for itself [F#]
a pit of [E] disgrace
You [A] thought it was over but it's just [E] like before Will [F#m] there never [F#] be an end to the [E] Indian war?
