John Anderson - Yellow Creek


Intro: B minorBm

     D MajorD
Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters
   G+G            B minorBm
Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee
        D MajorD           B minorBm
Then came those pioneer settlers that drove those Indians westward
D MajorD          G+G       B minorBm
Far from their home down on Yellow Creek
     D MajorD
Now it's many years later and I'm living in the nature
    G+G              B minorBm
Of this Indian paradise called Tennessee
    D MajorD               B minorBm
Where I find those broken arrows that flew like the sparrows
  D MajorD            G+G       B minorBm
The sparrows that still fly down on Yellow Creek

     G+G          D MajorD
Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters
   G+G               B minorBm
Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee
      G+G            D MajorD         B minorBm
Through the blood-stained years they walk the Trail of Tears
D MajorD           G+G       B minorBm
Crying for their home down on Yellow Creek

  E MajorE
Sometimes my wife and babies think I'm going crazy
    A augmentedA                         C# minorC#m
When I talk about the things I see and hear when they're asleep
      E MajorE            C# minorC#m
Like those Indian children playing, singing and a-saying
E MajorE         A augmentedA       C# minorC#m
This is their home down on Yellow Creek


     A augmentedA          E MajorE
Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters

Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee

Through the blood-stained years they walk the Trail of Tears

Crying for their home down on Yellow Creek


     A augmentedA          E MajorE
Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters
