Verse 1
(D sharpsus4) (C sharp major) (E flat minor) As I awoke this evening
(E minor) With the smell (E flat minor) of wood smoke cling (E minor) ing
Like a gentle cobweb (E flat minor) hanging
Upon a (D major) painted tepee (E minor)
(E flat minor) Oh, I went to see my chieftain
With (E flat minor) my war lance
and (B major) my woman
(E flat minor) For he told us that the
yellow moon
Would very soon be leaving
(E flat minor) This (E flat major) I can't believe
Verse 2
I said
I can't believe (D major) our (E flatsus4)
Warlord's dead
(E flat major) Oh, he would not leave the chosen ones
To the buzzards and the soldiers (E flatsus4) guns

Verse 3
Oh, great (E flat major) father (E flat minor) of the Iroquois
Ever since (E flat major) I was young (E flatsus4)
I've read the writing of (E flat major) the smoke (B major)
And (E flat minor) breast-fed on on the sound (E flatsus4) of drums
I've (E flat minor) learned to hurl the toma (E flat major) hawk
And ride a painted pony (E flatsus4) wild
To run the gauntlet of the (A flat minor) Sioux
To (E flat minor) make a chief (E flat major) tain's
daugh (E flatsus4) ter mine
Verse 4
And (E flat major) now you ask that I should watch
The red man's race be
slowly (E flatsus4) crushed
What kind of words are these (A flat minor) to hear
From (E flat major) Yel low Dog, whom a (E flatsus4) white man fears?

Oh, I take only (B minor) what is mine,
Verse 5
(E minor) Lord (G major)
My (C major) pony, my (D major) squaw,
and my child (E minor) (D major) (G major)
I can't stay (B minor) to see (E minor) you die (G major) (C major)
(D major) Along with my tribe's (E minor) pride (D major) (A minor)
I go to search for the (D major) yellow moon
And the (G major) fathers of our son (C major) s
Where the (E minor) red sun sink (C major) s
in the (G major) hills of (F major) gold
And the (A minor) healing (G major) waters (C major) run
Verse 6
(G major)
Trampling down (D major) the prair (E minor) ie rose (G major) (C major)
Leaving hoof (D major) tracks in the sand (E minor) (D major) (G major)
Those who wish (D major) to fol (E minor) low me (G major) (C major)
I (D major) welcome with my hand (E minor) (D major) s (A minor)
I heard from passing renegades (D major) (G major)
Geronimo was dead (C major)
He'd been (E minor) laying (A minor) down
his (Gsus4) weapon (F major) s
When they (A minor) filled him (B minor) full of (E minor) lead (E major) (E minor)

Verse 7
(E minor) Now there seems no reas (G major) on why
(C major) I should carry on (G major)
(A minor) In this land that once (E minor) was my (G major) land
(C major) I can't find a home (D major)
It's (E minor) lonely and it's quiet (G major)
(C major) And the horse soldiers are coming (G major)
(A minor) And I think it's time I strung (G major) my bow
(C major) And ceased my senseless (D major) running
For (E minor) soon I'll find the yel (D major) low moon
Along (C major) with my loved ones (G major)
Where the (A minor) buffaloes graze
in (G major) clover fields
(C major) Without the sound of gun (D major) s
Verse 8
And the (E minor) red sun (D major) sinks at last
(C major) In to the hills of gold (G major)
And (A minor) peace to this young (B minor) warrior
(G major) (C major) Comes with a bullet (E minor) hole
