(intro)   G D F Em C G D A D

G                                          D
    Can you remember the times,
F                                              Em
    that you`ve held your head high?
            C                                        G
    and told all your friends of your Indian claim,
        D                               G
    proud good lady and proud good man?
                C                                         G
    Your great-great-grandfather from Indian blood sprang,
                   D                 A                     D
    and you feel in your heart for these ones.

                   G                                 D
    Oh, it`s written in books and in songs,
             F                                          Em
    that we`ve been mistreated and wronged.
               C                       G
    Well, over and over I hear the same words,
              D                             G
    from you, good lady, and you, good man.
              C                           G
    Well, listen to me if you care where we stand,
                   D                   A                  D
    and you feel you`re a part of these ones.

                   G                                   D
    When a war between nations is lost,
           F                                      Em
    the loser, we know, pays the cost.
           C                                G
    But even when Germany fell to your hands,
           D                              G
    consider, dear Lady, consider, dear man,
            C                                          G
    you left them their pride and you left them their land,
               D                    A                   D
    and what have you done to these ones?

                  G                                       D
    Has a change come about Uncle Sam,
          F                                 Em
    or are you still taking our lands?
          C                                 G
    A treaty forever George Washington signed,
          D                           G
    he did, dear Lady, he did, dear man.
                    C                                   G
    And the treaty`s being broken by Kinzua Dam,
               D                 A                  D
    and what will you  do  for these ones?

                 G                                   D
    Oh, it`s all in the past, you can say,
                 F                             Em
    but it`s still going on here today.
             C                                        G
    The government now wants the Iroquois land,
            D                     G
    that of the Seneca and the Cheyenne.
             C                                        G
    It`s here and it`s now you must help us, dear man,
      D                                 G
    now that the buffalo`s gone.
