[Intro]
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
[Verse 1]
Am Fmaj7 The thunder of the hooves of Indian ponies Am Fmaj7 Wild with running, beautiful as light Am Fmaj7 Flash into my dreams along the prairie G Em7 Dm7 The hero Sioux, the spirits of the night Am Fmaj7 With buffalo who used to roam the mountains Am Fmaj7 Through the canyons, through the wind-blown grass C Fmaj7 Hooves that beat past swiftly running rivers G Em7 Dm7 And sounds of centuries like breaking glass
[Verse 2]
Am Fmaj7 Shot from trains and shot from painted horses Am Fmaj7 Shot down running in their murdered fear Am Fmaj7 Gone before the quarter of the century G Em7 Dm7 Leaving nothing but the sound of tears Am Fmaj7 Starving in their trails of blood and sorrow Am Fmaj7 Ancient creatures innocent of crime C Fmaj7 Manifest in destiny they flounder G Em7 Dm7 Fmaj7 G Like the wandering footsteps of the blind
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7 Sundown Am Fmaj7 Sunrise C Fmaj7 Sundown Am Fmaj7 Sunrise
[Verse 3]
Am Fmaj7 All the sainted tribes and missionaries Am Fmaj7 All the wagon trains of yearning hearts Am Fmaj7 Testify to madness and to bloodshed G Em7 Dm7 Among the buffalo as time departs Am Fmaj7 Alas for murdering the dreams of warriors Am Fmaj7 Women, children sleep in innocence C Fmaj7 Fires raged across the burning deserts G Em7 Dm7 Fmaj7 G Let the tears of history commence
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7 Sundown Am Fmaj7 Sunrise C Fmaj7 Sundown Am Fmaj7 Sunrise
[Verse 4]
Am Fmaj7 May the pioneers plant in their gardens Am Fmaj7 Among the bones of dreamers by the creek Am Fmaj7 Where they somehow found the peace of silence G Em7 Dm7 With no maddening secrets they could keep Am Fmaj7 The thunder of the hooves of Indian ponies Am Fmaj7 Wild with running, beautiful as light C Fmaj7 Flash into my dreams along the prairie G Em7 Dm7 The hero Sioux, Comanches of the night G Em7 Dm7 Arapahoe, the Nez Perce of the night G Em7 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 G The Cherokee, spirits of the night
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7 Sundown Am Fmaj7 Sunrise C Fmaj7 Sundown Am Fmaj7 Sunrise
