and build a log cabin, down there by the river

Where we raise the kids the best there is,

G                 A             E         E     A      E

There's war paint, more blood than the rain.

A                 D    D     G      E               A       E
And there's smoke down there on the river.

       G                     A                    E         G     A
And he landed a job with the man sellin' off land plots

Buried away the gold, he made and he saved enough

To build that home for mary

He made a deal with the tribe and he hoped the chief would keep it.

It all came down to the plan he made,
