Verse 1
(G major) From the Indian reservation to
the governmental (C major) school (G major)
Well they're (C major) goin' to (G major) educate me (D major) to
the white men's Golden Rule
And I'm learning (G major) (D major) very quickly (G major) for
I've (C major) learned to be ashamed (G major) (D major) (G major)
And I come (C major) when (D major) they call (G major) Billy (D major) (G major)
(D major) though I've got an Indian name (G major)
And there are drums beyond the mountain
Indian (C major) drums that you can't (G major) hear
There are (C major) drums beyond the (G major) mountain
and they're (D major) getting mighty (G major) near
And when they think (D major) that they'd (G major) changed
(D major) me (G major) (D major) cut my (C major) hair to meet their (G major) needs
Will they (C major) think I'm (D major) white or (G major) Indian
(D major) quarter blood or just half breed
Let me tell (G major) you Mr teacher (D major) (G major) when
you say (C major) you'll make me (G major) right
In five (C major) hundred years of (G major) fighting
(D major) not one Indian turned (G major) white
And there are drums... (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
Well you thought (G major) that (D major) I knew (G major) nothing
when you (C major) brought me here to school (G major)
Just an (C major) other empty (D major) Indian (G major)
(D major) just America's first fool
But now (G major) I can (D major) tell you stories (G major) that
are (C major) burnt and dried and (G major) old (D major)
(G major) But in the shadow (C major) of their (G major) telling
walks the thunder (D major) proud and (G major) bold
And there are drums... (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) Long Pine (G major) (D major) and Sequoia (G major) Handsome
(C major) Lake and (D major) Sitting Bull (G major)
There's (C major) Magnus Color (G major) ado (D major) (G major)
(D major) with his sleeves so red and full
Crazy Horse the le (G major) gend those
who (C major) bit off Custer's (G major) soul
(D major) They are (C major) dead yet (G major) they are living
with the great (D major) Geronim (G major) o
And there are (C major) drums... (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Well you may teach me (D major) (G major) (D major) this land's
(G major) hist'ry (D major) (G major) but we (C major) taught it to you (G major) first (D major)
(G major) We broke (D major) your (C major) hearts and bent your jour
(G major) neys (D major) broken treaties left us cursed
Even now (G major) you have to cheat us
even (C major) though you this us (G major) tame
In our (C major) losing we found (G major) proudness in
your (D major) winning you found (G major) shame
And there are (C major) drums...
