     F        C
Went to the museum, red brother

         F             C                G
Saw your ancient bloom cut, pressed and dried

  F                    C
A sign said "Wasn't it clever what they used to do?"

       F         C            Dm7
But it never did say how they died
[Chorus]

I went to Regina, red sister

        F   C                    G
Heard a cab driver say what he'd seen

           F              C
"There's a grand place to eat out on Number One

          F             C           Dm7
All white ladies if you know what I mean"

  F         C
I went to a pow-wow, red brother

         F             C         G
Felt the people's love joy flow around

           F           C
It left me crying just thinking about it

         F                 C                Dm7
How they used my Saviour's name to keep you down
