Trail Of Tears
Randy Handley
No more [
G+G] beautiful moons may we [
E minorEm] spend on our lands
In the [
C majorC] north the scarlet [
D MajorD] councils talks of [G+G] war [D MajorD]
And the [G+G] long knives have massacred the [E minorEm] tribe and burned
corn
We?re not [C majorC] welcome in our [D MajorD] homeland any [G+G] more
There will be a [C majorC] trail [D MajorD] of [G+G] tears
There will be a [C majorC] trail [D MajorD] of [E minorEm] pain [Em/g]
And Jackson will [C majorC] have the Missisis [G+G] ippi and the [C majorC] twenty
dollar [G+G] bill
But for [C majorC] us the trail is [D MajorD] all that will re [G+G] main
No more [G+G] songs of the hunters on the [E minorEm] buffalo plain
No more [C majorC] smoke from sacred [D MajorD] fires touch these [G+G] hills [D MajorD]
And the [G+G] numbers of the people will grow [E minorEm] fewer every mile
And our [C majorC] children will not [D MajorD] learn the Great Spirits [G+G] way
There will be a [C majorC] trail [D MajorD] of [G+G] tears
There will be a [C majorC] trail [D MajorD] of [E minorEm] pain [Em/g]
And Jackson will [C majorC] have the Missis [G+G] sippi and the [C majorC] twenty
dollar [G+G] bill
But for [C majorC] us the trail is [D MajorD] all that will re [G+G] main
On the [G+G] streets of Rapid City on the [E minorEm] road to Wounded Knee
There is [C majorC] whiskey for for [D MajorD] getting every [G+G] thing [D MajorD]
But the [G+G] old ones say there may be time from [E minorEm] learning from
each other
The [C majorC] way that it had [D MajorD] once been meant to [G+G] be
There is still a [C majorC] trail [D MajorD] of [G+G] tears
There is still a [C majorC] trail [D MajorD] of [E minorEm] pain [Em/g]
And Jackson has [C majorC] got the Missis [G+G] sippi and the [C majorC] twenty
dollar [G+G] bill
But for [C majorC] us the trail of [D MajorD] tears re [G+G] main
Jackson has [C majorC] got the Missis [G+G] sippi and the [C majorC] twenty dollar
[G+G] bill
But how [C majorC] long will the [D MajorD] trail of tears re [G+G] main
