_ _ [C] I woke this evening with the [Eb] 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 bear us soon, bear leaving
_ _ _ This _ I can't believe I said, I can't [Ebm] believe our _ [Eb]
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 Iroquois, _ ever [Eb] since I was _ [Db] young
_ _ 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 [Abm] gauntlet of the zoo [Eb] to make our chieftain's daughter mine
_ _ And now you ask that I should watch the red man's race being slowly _ crushed
_ [Bbm] _
What [Eb] kind of words [Abm] are these to hear [Eb] from yellow dog whom a [Bbm] white man fears?

_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ I take [Bm] only what is [Em] mine, lord, _
[G] _ _ _ [C] my pony, _ [D] my squaw and my [Em] _ child
[D] _
I _ _ [G] _ _ can't [Bm] 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] _
_ sings [G] in the hills [C] [F] of gold _ [Am] and the _ [C] healing [G] _ _ waters _ [C] _ run
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Trampling [Bm] 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 _
He'd _ [Em] been laying _ [Am]
down _ his [C] weapon [F] _ _
when _ [Am] they filled [Bm] him full [E] of lead _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _

Now there seems no [G] reason why _
[C] I should carry [G] _ on
In [Am] this land [G] that once was my [C] land I can find a [D] home
_ [Em] It's lonely and [G] it's quiet _ [C] and the horse soldiers [G] are coming
_ [Am] And I think it's time I [G] strung my bow [C] and ceased my senseless [D] _
_ running
_ But _ [Em]
soon I'll find the [G] yellow moon _
[C] along with my loved [G] ones
Where [Am] the buffaloes graze [G] in clover fields [C] without the sound [D] of guns _
[Em] And the red [D] sun sings _ [C] last into the hills [G] of gold _
[Am] At Easter this young [B] warrior _
_ [C] with _ _ _ a bullet [Em] in his heart _ _ _ _ _
