Verse 1
(A minor) They don't call us Indians anymore (D major)
(B minor) But the names from the old (E minor) law
(C major) They gave us treaties out in the (G major) west
(A minor) And decided that land was the (D major) best
(A minor) They took us from our (D major) families
(B minor) And they tried to make us (E minor) wise (C major)
It took years for them to see
(G major) That this just wasn't right (B minor) (D major)
(G major) Now we have a truth (A major) to wish for,
to (B minor) try to sort thing (E minor) s out. (D major)
(C major) It's the first (G major) time the natives
have had that kind of (B minor) plow. (D major)
(G major) Now they call us First (A major) Ca nadians,
First (B minor) People, First (E minor) Nation.
(C major) And they try to help us
estab (G major) lish all our old rela (D major) tions (G major)
We were brown and (A major) we were savage
An (Asus4) (A major) d (B minor) we didn't
believe in the (E minor) crumbs
(C major) But now the Canadian people (G major) can see
how much they've (B major) lost.
(G major) Now they call us first Cana (A major) dians, (Asus4)
first (B minor) people, first na (E minor) tions,
hey, hey, (G major) hey. (Asus4) (A major) (C major)
(D major) It's Aboriginal Day
(G major) (C major) (D major)
