as i awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging
like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee
oh i went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman
for he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
D#m D#m9
this i can’t believe i said , i can’t believe our warlord’s dead
D#m9 abmeb D#m7
oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns
D#m D#m9
oh great father of the iroquois ever since i was young
abmeb D#m9
i’ve read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums
D#m D#m7
i’ve learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
D#m9 abmeb D#m9
to run the gauntlet of the sioux , to make a chieftain’s daughter mine
D#m
and now you ask that i should watch
D#m D#m7 D#m9
the red man’s race be slowly crushed
D#m abmeb
what kind of words are these to hear
D#m9
from yellow dog whom white man fears

i can’t stay to see you die along with my tribe’s pride

i go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons

where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run

trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand

in this land that once was my land i can’t find a home
Em gd C F#
it’s lonely and it’s quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
Am F# C D
and i think it’s time i strung my bow and ceased my senseless running
Em gd C F#
for soon i’ll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones

where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns

and the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
