Verse 1
(B minor) (C major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) Come
gather round,
let me sing (C major) you a song
By (D major) what little I know, it won't (E minor) take long
Verse 2
It's a game I played when I (C major) was young
Called (D major) Cowboys and Indians (E minor)
By means of plastic fig (C major) urines
My (D major) brothers and I kept the country free (E minor)
From the savages who tried
to take (C major) our land
Them (D major) merciless outlaw Indians banned (E minor)
Then one day my mama
she saw (C major) us playing
She (D major) said, I got a story that needs a saying (E minor)
It's a story that happened
way (C major) back when
About (D major) cowboys and Indians
(E minor) And she cried, (G major) oh -o (A major) h -oh
(E minor) She cried, oh (G major) -oh -o (A major) h
(E minor) She cried, (G major) oh -oh (A major) -oh (E minor)
On the border of New Mex (C major) ico
In a jerkwa (D major) ter town that (E minor) nobody knows
There was an Indian boy (A major) of Navajo (C major) blood
He (D major) was looking for work
under the noonday sun (E minor)
He met a cowboy smoking on a stogie (C major) near
He (D major) said, hey Tonto, come on over here (E minor)
He said, I'll tell you what,
if he can ride (C major) the saddle
I'll pay you ten (D major) cents a
day to drive (E minor) my cattle (C major) (D major) (E minor)
Now the cowboy had one lone (C major) daughter
Who (D major) milked the cows
and fetched him (E minor) wa ter
And the Indian knew it was forbid (C major) den
To even (D major) look at her,
so he remained (E minor) hidden
Until one day a calf (C major) got lost
And he (D major) followed its tracks
down to the (E minor) pond
Where the daughter was
bathin' and singin' (C major) sweet
And the (D major) sound of her voice
made his knees go (E minor) weak
She sang, (G major) oh, (A major) oh, oh, (E minor) she sang, (G major) oh,
oh, (E minor) oh, oh, she sang, oh, oh, (A major) (E minor) oh
He took the feather from his hair
and gave it to (C major) her
Saying, (D major) you must be an angel
and this must be (E minor) you
Then he laid her down in a field of (C major) corn
And there (D major) they stayed
till the light of morn (E minor)
When the daughter she
returned back (C major) home
She found the (D major) cowboy waiting all alone (E minor)
He was standing out by the laun (C major) dry line
He said, you (D major) know not to mix
your reds with (E minor) your whites
And the singles for you,
no daughter of (C major) mine
Will (D major) be caught dead mixing with his kind (E minor)
He said, I never should have trusted
that Indian scum (C major)
And he (D major) took to the fields carrying
his gun (E minor) (C major) (D major) (E minor)
The daughter warned the Indian of his (C major) fate
He said, (D major) my love, it's much too (E minor) late
Here are some flowers for you to (C major) borrow
To have (D major) something to put on
my grave to (E minor) morrow
And they cried, oh, (G major) (A major) oh, oh, (E minor) oh
They cried, oh, (G major) oh, (A major) oh, oh
(E minor) They cried, (G major) oh, (A major) oh, oh, (E minor) oh
The cowboy came upon the (C major) boy at last
Who was (D major) trying to (A major) las
(D major) so that wayward cat (E minor)
(G major) He (E minor) screamed,
you goddamn prairie nig (C major) ger
You're (D major) a dead man now in poetry (E minor)
The cowboy was never (G major) charged (C major)
Never (D major) shed a tear, never felt her mo (E minor) ment
But in this country sometimes it (C major) seems
No one (D major) notices when the pit men
(E minor) bleed (C major) (D major) (E minor)
(A major) (E minor)
Now the daughter would learn (A major)
to (E minor) love (D major) a (C major) Geddon
But (D major) none could compare to the Indian (E minor)
And then my mother, she began to (C major) cry
And the (D major) tears came
streaming from her eyes (E minor)
She said, my boy, now don't you (C major) see
The (D major) Indian's lover, that was me (E minor)
And I think that it's about time you (C major) knew
I gave (D major) birth to his child
and that child is (E minor) you
And I cried, oh, (G major) (A major) I (E minor) cried,
(G major) oh, (A major) I (E minor) cried, oh (G major) (E minor)
So now you've listened to my song (C major)
By what (D major) little I know, it didn't take (E minor) long
It's a game I played when I was (C major) young Go
(D major) Cowboys and Indians
(D major) (E minor)
