INTRO:
Ab Ab Ab Ab Ab

VERSE:
Ab                    Eb
Can you remember the times
Gb                           Fm Ab
  To you have held your head high
 Db             Eb            Ab
Told all your friends of your Indian claim
 Eb                  Ab        Ab Bb C
Proud good lady and proud good man
      Db              Eb          Ab
Some great great grandfather from Indian blood sprang
         Eb           Bb              Eb Eb Db Bb
And you feel in your heart for these ones


VERSE:
          Ab                      Eb
Oh, it`s written in books and in songs
      Gb                        Fm     Ab
That we`ve been mistreated and wronged
     Db       Eb      Ab
Well over and over I hear those same words
     Eb                Ab        Ab Bb C
From you good lady and you good man
      Db       Eb         Ab
Well listen to me if you care where we stand
         Eb            Bb            Eb Eb Db Bb
And you feel you`re a part of these ones


VERSE:
       Ab                      Eb
When a war between nations is lost
     Gb                     Fm Ab
The loser we know pays the cost
    Db        Eb       Ab
But even when Germany fell to your hands
   Eb                  Ab         Ab Bb C
Consider dear lady, consider dear man
     Db              Eb            Ab
You left them their pride and you left them their lands
     Eb            Bb            Eb Eb Db Bb
And what have you done to these ones


VERSE:
       Ab                       Eb
Has a change come about my dear man
   Gb                        Fm Ab
Or are you still taking our lands
   Db       Eb        Ab
A treaty forever your senators sign
     Eb                 Ab      Ab Bb C
They do dear lady, they do dear man
          Db          Eb      Ab
And the treaties are broken again and again
     Eb           Bb            Eb Eb Db Bb
And what will you do for these ones


VERSE:
         Ab                        Eb
Oh, it`s all in the past they will say
          Gb                    Fm Ab
But it`s still going on here today
     Db         Eb           Ab
The governments now want the Navaho land
 Eb               Ab           Ab Bb C
That of the Inuit and the Cheyenne
      Db           Eb           Ab
It`s here and it`s now you can help us dear man
 Eb                        Ab Ab Ab Ab
Now that the buffalo`s gone.
