Verse:
       C majorC   FF   G7G7    C majorC   FF
An east wing blew in the storms of time
        E minorEm  DmDm       G7G7
Where the Metis lived by the winding river
     E minorEm  DmDm    G7G7    E minorEm  A minorAm
When on a steel rail the settlers came
        DmDm    FF         G7G7
To the South Saskatchewan and the land they claimed

Verse:
       C majorC FF  G7G7  C majorC  FF
Then three Metis and Gabrial
       E minorEm DmDm     G7G7
Rode like the wind to wild Montana
       E minorEm    DmDm   G7G7    E minorEm   A minorAm
There on the Sweetgrass, in a church of stone
         DmDm   FF           G7G7
They found their saviour, and they brought him home

Chorus:
        C majorC FF   G7G7   C majorC   FF
Saying, "Come Riel, we'll make a stand
     E minorEm  DmDm      G7G7
Here at Botoche, beside the river
     E minorEm DmDm   G7G7   E minorEm  A minorAm
Ah, never mind their Gatling guns
        DmDm  FF   G7G7   C majorC   FF G7G7 C majorC G7G7
If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"

Verse:
         C majorC  FF    G7G7   C majorC    FF
Well, the bullets flew and the cannons roared
        E minorEm  DmDm       G7G7
And the Metis' blood flowed like a river
     E minorEm   DmDm     G7G7   E minorEm  A minorAm
Into the coulees where they ran to hide
        DmDm     FF         G7G7
It washed their dreams away, and their spirit died

Chorus:
      C majorC FF   G7G7   C majorC   FF
"Oh, come Riel, we'll make a stand
     E minorEm  DmDm      G7G7
Here at Botoche, beside the river
     E minorEm DmDm   G7G7   E minorEm  A minorAm
Ah, never mind their Gatling guns
        DmDm  FF   G7G7   C majorC   FF G7G7 C majorC G7G7
If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"

Verse:
       C majorC  FF G7G7    C majorC   FF
Oh, a silence stole across the land
       E minorEm DmDm       G7G7
The drums of war were hushed forever
      E minorEm    DmDm   G7G7   E minorEm   A minorAm
But in the starlight on the barren plains
      DmDm   FF       G7G7
The cry of Gabrial flies on the wind

Chorus:
      C majorC FF   G7G7   C majorC   FF
"Oh, come Riel, we'll make a stand
     E minorEm  DmDm      G7G7
Here at Botoche, beside the river
     E minorEm DmDm   G7G7   E minorEm  A minorAm
Ah, never mind their Gatling guns
        DmDm  FF   G7G7   C majorC
If we lose this time, we've lost forever!
        DmDm  FF   G7G7   C majorC
If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"
