Chords

Recorded by Charlie Pride written by Hank Williams and Fred Rose [Verse 1] (Strum chords using a tom-tom beat)
A
Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
                                            E
Kaw-liga  just stood there and never let it show

                                 A
So she could never answer yes or no
[Verse 2]
 A
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
                                      E
Kaw-liga  too stubborn to ever show a sign

                                     A
Because his heart was made of knotty pine
[Chorus]
A
Poor ol' Kaw-liga he never got a kiss

D
Poor ol' Kaw-liga he don't know what he missed

A                                  E
Is it any wonder that his face is red

                              A
Kaw-liga that poor ol' wooden head
[Verse 3]
A
Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair
                                           E
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show

                                 A
So she could never answer yes or no
[Verse 4]
 A
Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-liga stayed
                                            E
Kaw-liga just stands there as lonely as can be

                                    A
And wishes he was still an old pine tree
[Chorus]
A
Poor ol' Kaw-liga he never got a kiss

D
Poor ol' Kaw-liga he don't know what he missed

A                                  E
Is it any wonder that his face is red

                              A
Kaw-liga that poor ol' wooden head
