G                 Bm           Em          C   
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down,

Am                        D

They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream,

      C                     D
That waited outside in the rain.

Brown skinned Indian on the banks

Held a broken arrow?

He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall.

He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall, 

       G        G/F#       Em            
His mother had told him a trip was a fall,

And don't mention babies at all.

The streets were lined for the wedding parade,

The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song, 

Am                              D
The black covered caisson her horses had drawn

They married for peace and were gone.
