(*)
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 war lance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
Ebm Ebm9 This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead Ebm9 Abm/Eb Ebm9 Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns Ebm Ebm9 Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young Ebm9 Abm/Eb Ebm9 I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums Ebm Ebm9 I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild Ebm9 Abm/Eb Ebm9 To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine Ebm Ebm9 And now you ask that I should watch the red man's race be slowly crushed Ebm9 Abm/Eb Ebm9 What kind of words are these to hear from Yellow Dog whom white man fears
