(intro)   G D F Em C G D A D 

G                                          D 
    Can you remember the times, 
F                                              Em 
    that you`ve held your head high? 
            C                                        G 
    and told all your friends of your Indian claim, 
        D                               G 
    proud good lady and proud good man? 
                C                                         G 
    Your great-great-grandfather from Indian blood sprang, 
                   D                 A                     D 
    and you feel in your heart for these ones. 

                   G                                 D 
    Oh, it`s written in books and in songs, 
             F                                          Em 
    that we`ve been mistreated and wronged. 
               C                       G 
    Well, over and over I hear the same words, 
              D                             G 
    from you, good lady, and you, good man. 
              C                           G 
    Well, listen to me if you care where we stand, 
                   D                   A                  D 
    and you feel you`re a part of these ones. 

                   G                                   D 
    When a war between nations is lost, 
           F                                      Em 
    the loser, we know, pays the cost. 
           C                                G 
    But even when Germany fell to your hands, 
           D                              G 
    consider, dear Lady, consider, dear man, 
            C                                          G 
    you left them their pride and you left them their land, 
               D                    A                   D 
    and what have you done to these ones? 

                  G                                       D 
    Has a change come about Uncle Sam, 
          F                                 Em 
    or are you still taking our lands? 
          C                                 G 
    A treaty forever George Washington signed, 
          D                           G 
    he did, dear Lady, he did, dear man. 
                    C                                   G 
    And the treaty`s being broken by Kinzua Dam, 
               D                 A                  D 
    and what will you  do  for these ones? 

                 G                                   D 
    Oh, it`s all in the past, you can say, 
                 F                             Em 
    but it`s still going on here today. 
             C                                        G 
    The government now wants the Iroquois land, 
            D                     G 
    that of the Seneca and the Cheyenne. 
             C                                        G 
    It`s here and it`s now you must help us, dear man, 
      D                                 G 
    now that the buffalo`s gone.
