Verse 1
D#sus4 
C# 
Ebm 
As I awoke this evening
Em 
Ebm 
Em 
With the smell of wood smoke clinging
Ebm 
Like a gentle cobweb hanging
D 
Em 
Upon a painted tepee
Ebm 
Oh,   I went to see my chieftain
Ebm 
With my    war lance
B 
and my woman
Ebm 
For he told us that the
yellow moon
Would very soon be leaving
Ebm 
Eb 
This I   can't believe

Verse 2
I said
D 
Ebsus4 
I can't believe our
Warlord's dead
Eb 
Oh, he would not leave the chosen ones
Ebsus4 
To the buzzards and the soldiers guns

Verse 3
Eb 
Ebm 
Oh, great father of    the Iroquois
Eb 
Ebsus4 
Ever since I was young
Eb 
B 
I've read the writing of the smoke
Ebm 
Ebsus4 
And breast-fed on on the sound of drums
Ebm 
Eb 
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk
Ebsus4 
And ride a painted pony wild
Abm 
To run the gauntlet of the Sioux
Ebm 
Eb 
To make  a chieftain's
Ebsus4 
daughter       mine

Verse 4
Eb 
And now you ask that I should watch
The red man's race be
Ebsus4 
slowly crushed
Abm 
What kind of words are these to    hear
Eb 
Ebsus4 
From Yel low Dog, whom a white     man fears?

I can't stay to see you die

Along with my tribe's pride

I go to search for the yellow moon
G

And the fathers of our sons
Em

Where the red sun sinks
G 
F 
in the hills of gold
Am 
G 
C 
And the healing waters run

G 
C 
Trampling down the prairie rose
D

Leaving hoof tracks in the sand

Those who wish to follow me
D

I welcome with my hands
D

I heard from passing renegades
C 
Geronimo was dead
Em 
Am 
He'd been laying down
Gsus4 
F 
his weapon   s
Am 
Bm 
Em 
E 
Em 
When they filled him full of lead

Verse 7
Em 
G 
Now there seems no reason why
C 
G 
I should carry on
Am 
Em 
G 
In this land that once was my land
C 
D 
I can't find a home
Em 
G 
It's lonely and it's quiet
C 
G 
And the horse soldiers are coming
Am 
G 
And  I think it's time I strung my bow
C 
D 
And ceased my senseless running
Em 
D 
For soon I'll find the yellow moon
C 
G 
Along with my loved ones
Am 
Where the buffaloes graze
G 
in clover fields
C 
D 
Without the sound of guns
