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

[C] [D] along with my [Em] tribe's pride.
[D]
[Am] I go to search [D] for the yellow moon [G]
and the fathers of our [C] sons.
[Em] Where the red sun [Am] sinks [Em] in [G] the hills [F] of gold [Am] and the healing [G]
[C] waters 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]
[C] [D] I welcome with my [Em] [D] hands.
I
[Am] heard from passing [D] renegades, [G]
Geronimo was [C] dead.

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