_ _ I [Eb] 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 _ I can't believe I said, I can't believe [Ebm] 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 since [Eb]
I was young
[Db] _ _ I've read the writing [Abm] of the smoke [Ebm] and breastfed on the sound of drums
_ [Bbm] I've [Ebm] learned to hurl the _ [Eb] tomahawk and ride a painted pony while _ _ _
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 be slowly _ crushed
_ [Bbm] _
What [Eb] kind of words [Abm] are these to hear [Eb] from yellow dog whom [Bbm] a white man fears?

_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ I take [Bm] only what is [Em] mine, _ lord, [G] _ _ _ [C] my pony, _ [D] my squaw, my [Em] _ child
[D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ I can't [Bm] stay to [Em] see you die [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] along with my [Em] tribe's pride
[D] _
_ 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 [C] hills [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 thousand [D] _ _ renegades _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Geronimo was [C] dead _ _
He'd [Em] been laying _ [Am]
down _ [C] his _ [F] weapons _
_ _ [Am] when they built [Bm] him for [E] our land _ _

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