Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
I am stunned and I am broken
D 
and my head is in my hand
For she who said she love me
C 
G 
will not wed an Indian man
My Gods who were wild ridden
D 
stand quiet by my side
For although I loved her she
C 
G 
would not be my bride
Oh goodbye softly sweet one it was
D 
splended while it ran
Goodbye my bitter white girl
C 
G 
I'll forget you if I can
She came up to the pueblo with
D 
her bright blonde hair
They told me not to love
C 
G 
her but I did not care
She took me to her parties
D 
she carried me around
And I was a proud one
C 
G 
the tallest man in town
For I found great wonder all
D 
wrapped in brilliant dreams
I held her strong but gentle as
C 
G 
kings have held their queens
I learned to drink strong whiskey as
D 
she took me here and there
Until life without my whiskey
C 
G 
I could not bear
D 
Oh goodbye softly sweet one...

Well when she came to leave me
C 
she took me by the arm
And she said she loved me and
Bb 
F 
would not do me harm
But she would not marry
C 
not an Indian she said
She thanked me for my offer and
Bb 
F 
I wished that I was dead
Now I'm back among my people
C 
and they are kind to me
Although I'm sad with staggers
Bb 
F 
when I drink that tough whiskey
For I've been a white girl's
C 
pet a captive Indian
Shown off and discarded just
Bb 
F 
a drunk who might have been
Oh goodbye softly sweet
C 
Bb 
F 
one...
