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.
