[G#m] [C#m]
[C#]
They took the whole Cherokee [F#] Nation,
Put a stone this [C#] reservation,
Took away our ways [F#] of life,
Took all our talk and the bow [C#] and knife,
[C#m] Took away our native [F#] tongue,
Taught their English to [C#] our young,
And all the beats we made [F#] by hand,
On our days made in [C#] Japan.
[C#m] [F#m]
Cherokee people, [C#m]
Cherokee tribe,
[F#m] So proud to live, [G#] [G#m] so proud to die.
[C#]
They took the whole Indian [F#m] Nation,
[B] [F#m]
Locked us on this [C#m] reservation,
[E] [C#m]
Threw our whale shirt [F#] aside,
[F#m] [D#] [F#m] I'm still [F#] from Redmond, [C#m] Deep Inside.
[A#] [C#m]
[F#m] Cherokee [Bm] people, [C#m] Cherokee tribe,
[F#m] So proud to [F#] live, [G#] so proud [A#] to [G#m] die.
[C#m]
[A#m] [E] But maybe someday when [A] they've learned,
[F#m]
[G#] Cherokee Nation will [C#] return,
Will return, will return,
Will return, will return.
