[INTRO]
Am riff1 C
Am riff1 C
[VERSE 1]
Am C Out in the desert where the wind never stops Am C A few simple people try to grow a few crops Fmaj7 C riff2 Fmaj7 Trying to maintain a life and a home C Bdim C riff3 On land that was theirs before the Romans founded Rome
[VERSE 2]
Am C A few dozen survivors, ragged but proud Am C With a few woolly sheep, under gathering cloud Fmaj7 C riff2 Fmaj7 It's never been easy, or free from strife C Bdim C riff3 But the pulse of the land is the pulse of their life
[CHORUS]
Fmaj7 C You thought it was over but it's just like before Dm Bdim Cadd4 C Will there never be an end to the Indian wars?
[VERSE 3]
Am C It's not breech-loading rifles and wholesale slaughter Am C It's kickbacks and thugs and diverted water Fmaj7 C riff2 Fmaj7 Treaties get signed and the papers change hands C Bdim C riff3 But they might as well draft these agreements in sand
[VERSE 4]
Am C Noble Savage on the cinema screen Am C An Indian's good when he cannot be seen Fmaj7 C riff2 Fmaj7 And the so-called white so-called race C Bdim C riff3 Digs for itself a pit of disgrace
[CHORUS]
Fmaj7 C You thought it was over but it's just like before Dm Bdim Cadd4 C Will there never be an end to the Indian wars? Fmaj7 C You thought it was over but it's just like before Dm Bdim Cadd4 C Will there never be an end to the Indian wars?
