Cherokee People ~ Paul Revere And The Raiders chords
Start Jamming...
[C#]
They took the whole Cherokee [F#] Nation, brought us on this [F#m]
[C#] reservation.
Took away our ways [F#] of life, the tomahawk and the [F#m] bow and knife.
[C#m]
Took away our [F#] native tongue, and taught their English to [C#] our young.
And all the beads we made [F#] by hand, [F#m]
are [F#] now what days made in [C#] Japan.
[C#m] [F#m]
Cherokee people, [C#m]
Cherokee pride, [F#m] so proud to live, [G#] so proud to die.
[C#m]
[C#] They took the whole Indian [F#m] Nation,
[B] [F#m] locked us on this [C#m] reservation.
[E] Though I will [C#m] share [F#m] the time,
[B] [F#m] I'm still a red man deep [E] inside.
[A#] [C#m]
[F#m] Cherokee people, [G] [C#m]
Cherokee pride,
[F#m] so proud to live, [G#] so [G#m] proud [G#] to die.
[C#m] [C#]
But maybe someday when [A] they learn, [F#m]
[G#] Cherokee Nation will [C#] return.
Will return, will return, will return, will return.
