[G] I woke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted teepee
Oh, I went to see my chieftain with my war lance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
This [Eb] I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
Oh, we will not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers' guns
[Db] Oh, [Ebm] great father of the [Eb] Iroquois, ever since I was young
[Db] I've read the writing [Abm] of the smoke [Ebm] and breastfed on [Eb] the sound of drums
[Bbm] I've [Ebm] learned to hurl the [Eb] tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
To run the gauntlet of [Abm] the zoo [Eb] to make our chieftain's daughter mine
And now you ask that I should watch the red man's race be slowly crushed
[Bbm] What [Eb] kind of words [Abm] are these to hear [Eb] from yellow dog whom a white [F] man fears?

I [G]
[Bm] can't stay to [Em] see you die [G] [C]
[D] along with my [Em] tribe's [D] pride
I [Am]
go to search [D] for the yellow moon [G] and the fathers of our [C] sons
[Em] Where the red sun [C]
sinks [G] in the hills [C] [F] of gold [Am] and the [C] healing [G] waters [C] run
[G]
[Bm] Trampling down the [Em] prairie roads, [G] [C] leaving [D] hoof tracks in the [Em] sand
[D]
[G] Those [Bm] who wish to [Em] follow me [G] I [C]
[D] welcome with my [Em] [D] hands
I've [Am]
heard from passing [D] renegades [G]
Geronimo was [C] dead

[Em] It's lonely and [G] it's quiet and [C] the horse soldiers [G] are coming
[Am] And I think it's [G] time I strung my bow [C] and ceased my senseless [D]
running
But [Em]
soon I'll find [G] the yellow moon
[C] along with my loved [G] ones
Where [Am] the buffaloes graze [G] in clover fields [C] without the sound of [D] guns
[Em] And the red [D] sun sinks last [C] into the hills [G] of gold
[A] At peace to this young [B] warrior
