[Verse 1]
    G             Bm         Em            C
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down,

    Am7                  D
And when it was over it felt like a dream,

      Am7                          D
They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream,

    G            G/F#        Em
The agents had paid for the black limousine

      C                     D
that waited outside in the rain.

       Gsus4  G  Gsus4 G        C           F
Did you see them,        did you see them?
[Chorus]

   Did you see them in the river?

   They were there to wave to you.

Dm                          G7
   Could you tell that the empty quivered,

Bb                Dm        Em/D
brown skinned Indian on the banks

          F/D         Em/D
that were crowded and narrow,

F             G
held a broken arrow?
[Verse 2]
G        Bm        Em       C
Eighteen years of American dream,

   Am7                       D
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall.

   Am7                      D
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall,

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

    C                       D
And don't mention babies at all.

Did you see him,        did you see him?

held a broken arrow?
[Verse 3]

The streets were lined for the wedding parade,

    Am7                              D
The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song,

    Am7                       D
The black covered caisson her horses had drawn

   G           G/F#         Em
protected her King from the sun rays of dawn.

     C                           D
They married for peace and were gone.
