Verse 1:
    Am                              Fmaj7
The thunder of the hooves of Indian ponies
Am                              Fmaj7
Wild with running, beautiful as light
Am                             Fmaj7
Flash into my dreams along the prairie
    G                Em7           Dm7
The hero Sioux, the spirits of the night
     Am                           Fmaj7
With buffalo who used to roam the mountains
Am                                          Fmaj7
Through the canyons, through the wind-blown grass
C                                     Fmaj7
Hooves that beat past swiftly running rivers
    G              Em7                Dm7
And sounds of centuries like breaking glass

Verse 2:
Am                                     Fmaj7
Shot from trains and shot from painted horses
Am                                  Fmaj7
Shot down running in their murdered fear
Am                             Fmaj7
Gone before the quarter of the century
G               Em7              Dm7
Leaving nothing but the sound of tears
Am                          Fmaj7
Starving in their trails of blood and sorrow
Am                            Fmaj7
Ancient creatures innocent of crime
C                        Fmaj7
Manifest in destiny they flounder
G                  Em7              Dm7    Fmaj7  G
Like the wandering footsteps of the blind


Chorus:
C      Fmaj7
Sundown
Am     Fmaj7
Sunrise
C      Fmaj7
Sundown
Am     Fmaj7
Sunrise


Verse 3:
Am                               Fmaj7
All the sainted tribes and missionaries
Am                               Fmaj7
All the wagon trains of yearning hearts
Am                        Fmaj7
Testify to madness and to bloodshed
 G             Em7          Dm7
Among the buffalo as time departs
 Am                              Fmaj7
Alas for murdering the dreams of warriors
Am                           Fmaj7
Women, children sleep in innocence
C                              Fmaj7
Fires raged across the burning deserts
G                Em7        Dm7    Fmaj7  G
Let the tears of history commence


Chorus:
C      Fmaj7
Sundown
Am     Fmaj7
Sunrise
C      Fmaj7
Sundown
Am     Fmaj7
Sunrise


Verse 4:
Am                              Fmaj7
May the pioneers plant in their gardens
 Am                                Fmaj7
Among the bones of dreamers by the creek
Am                                    Fmaj7
Where they somehow found the peace of silence
G                 Em7                Dm7
With no maddening secrets they could keep
    Am                              Fmaj7
The thunder of the hooves of Indian ponies
Am                              Fmaj7
Wild with running, beautiful as light
C                              Fmaj7
Flash into my dreams along the prairie
    G             Em7            Dm7
The hero Sioux
Comanches of the night
 G            Em7              Dm7
Arapahoe, ­­­­the Nez Perce of the night
    G          Em7           Dm7    Em7    Fmaj7    G
The Cherokee, spirits of the night ­­­­­­­­­­­
