Key: E minorEm
🤘 Intro:
N.C.
The trail of tears began for the Cherokee
N.C.
The white man came to trade and borrow
N.C.
But then, they would not leave
N.C.
Some of us were taken by boat and died at sea
N.C.
Those of us who lived were sold to slavery
E minorEm

Our trail of tears would end one day at Wounded Knee
