(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 1
And Black (G major) Oak stood on Harnik, (C major)
he (G major) spanned the four direc (C major) tions
Vis (G major) ion grows strong as
(E minor) the sight goes weak
and he could hear (C major) the least in (D major) flections
(E minor) Of spirit voices (C major) on the wind,
of (G major) the severed Sioux tribes,
of the (C major) songs that he heard.
He could (G major) see all the faces,
the four (C major) races of the world,
and he could (G major) sense (D major) the color (E minor) s
of their pray (D major) ers that blend (C major) in.
He prayed, (G major) oh,
when will the (C major) sacred hoop be (G major) mended?
O the (E minor) sacred hoop of nations,
(C major) of (G major) hands and hearts entwined, (C major)
lies (G major) broken with the broken (E minor) treaties
an (C major) d the ravaged (D major) tribes.
(E minor) For encampments in the (C major) ra ging wind,
their (G major) fires burning long. (C major)
Oh, (G major) when will the (C major) sacred hoop
be (G major) home? (C major) (G major) (C major)
And (G major) Anne Frank was a
(C major) young Jewish girl
when the (G major) Nazis came to (C major) power
And she (G major) left a leg (D major) acy (E minor) in ink
of those (C major) tortured, stormy (D major) hours
When her (E minor) people had to hide (C major) or die
She could (G major) hear the fearful boot (C major) s outside
She could (G major) see all the darkness
in the (C major) human heart
But (G major) she wrote,
I be (D major) lieve we're good (E minor) at the core (D major) an (C major) d end
That the (G major) light will overcome (C major) them,
Amen (G major) -deh.
O the (E minor) sacred hoop of na (C major) tions,
Of (G major) faith and hope entwined, (C major)
Lies (G major) scorched (D major) in Hitler's (E minor) ovens,
And of (C major) scattered like twelve (D major) tribes,
Conver (E minor) ging in Jerus (C major) alem
along (G major) the Holy Wall (C major)
Oh, (G major) when will the (C major) sacred be
(G major) whole? (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) Tangled in the (C major) branches
of a twis (G major) ted family tree (C major)
A (G major) child lies (D major) trembling (E minor) and in tears
Her (C major) ab use roots deep (D major) in the centuries of
(E minor) Pain that passes down (C major) the line of
(G major) generations back (C major) in time
We're (G major) all (D major) to gether on (E minor) this ride,
so (C major) if you feel (D major) that child inside
Please (E minor) go to her,
she cries to be befriended (C major)
And in (G major) this way may the
(C major) sacred hoop be (G major) mended
Oh, the (E minor) sacred hoop of famil (C major) ies,
of (G major) feelings entwined, (C major)
lies (G major) pulled (D major) apart in the (E minor) human heart
by the (C major) hurt of humankind. (D major)
(E minor) Will the circle be unbroken, (C major)
and can we (G major) heal the child's (C major) soul?
(G major) When, oh when, will the (C major) sacred hoop,
When, (G major) oh when, will the (C major) sacred hoop be (G major) gone?

Verse 2
And there's (G major) two good
friends on a (C major) holy butte
On the (G major) Pine Ridge Reserva (C major) tion
Seem (G major) s we could see
for a (E minor) thousand miles
As we (C major) pray for all relation (D major) s
And the (E minor) prayers drift round
like eagles (C major) down
To the (G major) prairies and the plains be (C major) low
We could (G major) feel the prayers of (C major) others there
Like (G major) a mighty tide of (C major) love and care
Flow (G major) ing like the (E minor) mystery in (D major)
(C major) tender (G major) (E minor) (D major) (C major)
Toward (G major) that bright day
when the (C major) sacred hoop is (G major) mended
Oh, the (E minor) sacred hoop of red and (C major) white
Of yel (G major) low and of a brown
(C major) Lies (G major) in our (D major) hands (E minor) to reunite,
to bind (C major) this old world (D major) around.
(E minor) Lack of loot from then (C major) to now,
and he (G major) saw our com (C major) mon goal.
To (G major) make our way to the (C major) joyful land,
when the sacred (D major) hoop is home. (G major) (C major) (E minor)
You
