A# / D#m

(*)
As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging

Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee

Oh I went to see my chieftain with my war lance and my woman

For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving

D#m
This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
          D#m                         G#m                      D#m
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns

               D#m
Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young
      D#m                    G#m                   D#m
I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums

        D#m
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
     D#m                   G#m                 D#m
To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine

        D#m
And now you ask that I should watch the red man's race be slowly crushed
         D#m                     G#m                        D#m
What kind of words are these to hear from Yellow Dog whom white man fears

(D#m )*

G#m /(G# A# B C#) D

G          Bm              Em            G    C            Am                    Em D
I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
G        Bm       Em            G C Am                       Em D
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride
Am                             D                                 G                        C
I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
                 Em         Am              G         F                   Am     G   C  
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run

G                Bm           Em             G C      Am                        Em D
Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand
G                 Bm       Em         G C Am                      Em D
Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands
Am                             D               G                     C
I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead
                   Em     Am        G          F                  Am   Bm Em            ( C )**** Em
He'd been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead_____________________

Em                             G                 C                   G
Now there seems no reason why I should carry on
Am                       G                            C                   D
In this land that once was my land I can't find a home

       Em                 G                     C                         G
It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
           Am                    G                            C                           D
And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running

       Em                        G                  C                            G
For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones
                 Am                         G                    C                         D
Where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns

              Em         G                  C                       G
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
        Am                    G                   C                       Em ( C Em) 
And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet ho________________le.
