🎸 Verse 1:
DmDm            DmDm
 Out on the great plains long sacred ridge
DmDm            DmDm
 Two men lay dying in the sun
DmDm             DmDm
One man would pay for this crime he never did
DmDm                  DmDm
Hoping that some day the truth would come
     C majorC         G+G
When they pushed the proud Dakota
C majorC        G+G
Off their treaty land
C majorC        G+G       A augmentedA
Waged a war that never could be won
               DmDm
Til they planted that smoking gun

🎸 Verse 2:
    DmDm               DmDm
Oh the misery of these people hung on Leonard Pelletier's hand
DmDm            DmDm
 We live like shadows he said
DmDm                DmDm
Once we were the keepers of this glorious land
DmDm              DmDm
Now we're either silenced or dead
   C majorC       G+G
They see an indian coming
       C majorC      G+G
Holding their flag upside down
C majorC         G+G     A augmentedA
Nobody cares that justice is done
                   DmDm
That's why they planted that smoking gun

🎸 Bridge:
G+G               G+G
 And when you're lying in your bed at night
G+G             E minorEm
Watching the moon rise overhead
G+G             G+G
Think of the ways that our people disappear
    G+G               E minorEm   E minorEm
Leaving nothing but the voices of the dead

🎸 Verse 3:
DmDm         DmDm
Seven sacred arrows four medicine men
DmDm            DmDm
 Scattered underneath the sky
DmDm              DmDm
Watching their people on the courthouse steps
DmDm         DmDm
 Hear their people cry
     C majorC           G+G
And they watched the lightning flash
     C majorC        G+G
Heard the thunder rolling on
C majorC         G+G        A augmentedA
Moon was blue and crimson was the sun
                 DmDm
The day they planted that smoking gun


🎸 Verse 4:
  DmDm          DmDm
Oh Abel and Cain raised many a daughter and son
DmDm                DmDm
 Some went to right, some went to wrong
DmDm               DmDm
Late in the darkness when they look into their hearts
DmDm                DmDm
 Each sees the mark of the other one
    C majorC        G+G
You can hide behind high office
C majorC            G+G
Life of the side you're on
C majorC        G+G          A augmentedA
Someday you will pay for what you've done
                DmDm  DmDm
When they planted that smoking gun


🎸 Outro:
  DmDm               DmDm
Oh, when they planted that smoking gun (when they planted that smoking gun)
  DmDm               DmDm
Oh, when they planted that smoking gun (when they planted that smoking gun)
  DmDm               DmDm
Oh, when they planted that smoking gun (when they planted that smoking gun)
