Verse
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
Brave and proud as all the village vowed,
C majorC D MajorD
That the land would belong to our sons,
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
We pledged our name, was then the wagons came,
C majorC D MajorD
And we ran from the sound of the guns.
Chorus
E minorEm G+G C majorC D MajorD
Fugitives across the land with empty hearts and empty hands,
A minorAm D MajorD
And all the troubles underneath the sun,
E minorEm G+G C majorC D MajorD
Life was all we had to give, but not the life we used to live,
A minorAm D MajorD
With all the triumph over now and done.
Verse
Sick and weak, we came to Bitter Creek,
In the year I became twenty-five,
The young and old we faced the bitter cold,
In the last great event of our lives.
Chorus
Underdogs in every place and every line on every face,
Remained to tell of land that we had lost,
Leaning on the only hope we lay with elk and antelope,
To fight the killing fever of the frost.
G+G C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Robbed of the right to be one with the white,
G+G D MajorD C majorC
It's the end of the fight for the Redman,
G+G C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Gone is the grace and the pride on his face,
G+G D MajorD C majorC
It's the end of the race for the Redman.
