G7 C G7 C G
[Verse]
C F G7 C F An east wing blew in the storms of time Em Dm G7 Where the Metis lived by the winding river Em Dm G7 Em Am When on a steel rail the settlers came Dm F G7 To the South Saskatchewan and the land they claimed
[Verse]
C F G7 C F Then three Metis and Gabrial Em Dm G7 Rode like the wind to wild Montana Em Dm G7 Em Am There on the Sweetgrass, in a church of stone Dm F G7 They found their saviour, and they brought him home
[Chorus]
C F G7 C F Saying, "Come Riel, we'll make a stand Em Dm G7 Here at Botoche, beside the river Em Dm G7 Em Am Ah, never mind their Gatling guns Dm F G7 C F G7 C G7 If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"
[Verse]
C F G7 C F Well, the bullets flew and the cannons roared Em Dm G7 And the Metis' blood flowed like a river Em Dm G7 Em Am Into the coulees where they ran to hide Dm F G7 It washed their dreams away, and their spirit died
[Chorus]
C F G7 C F "Oh, come Riel, we'll make a stand Em Dm G7 Here at Botoche, beside the river Em Dm G7 Em Am Ah, never mind their Gatling guns Dm F G7 C F G7 C G7 If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"
[Verse]
C F G7 C F Oh, a silence stole across the land Em Dm G7 The drums of war were hushed forever Em Dm G7 Em Am But in the starlight on the barren plains Dm F G7 The cry of Gabrial flies on the wind
[Chorus]
C F G7 C F "Oh, come Riel, we'll make a stand Em Dm G7 Here at Botoche, beside the river Em Dm G7 Em Am Ah, never mind their Gatling guns Dm F G7 C If we lose this time, we've lost forever! Dm F G7 C If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"
