From the IGndian reservation to the gC7overnmental schGool
Well they're gC7oing to educGate me to the wD7hite men's Golden Rule
And I'm lGearning very quickly for I've lC7earned to be asGhamed
And I cC7ome when they call BGilly though I've gD7ot an Indian nGame
And there are dGrums beyond the mountain Indian dC7rums that you can't hGear
There are dC7rums beyond the mGountain and they're gD7etting mighty nGear
And when tGhey think that they'd changed me cut my hC7air to meet their nGeeds
Will they tC7hink I'm white or IGndian quarter bD7lood or just half breed
Let me tGell you Mr teacher when you sC7ay you'll make me rGight
In five hC7undred years of fGighting not one ID7ndian turned wGhite
And there are dGrums beyond the mountain Indian dC7rums that you can't hGear
There are dC7rums beyond the mGountain and they're gD7etting mighty nGear
Well you tGhought that I knew nothing when you bC7rought me here to scGhool
Just anC7other empty IGndian just AmD7erica's first fool
But now IG can tell you stories that are bC7urnt and dried and oGld
But in the sC7hadow of their tGelling walks the tD7hunder proud and bGold
And there are dGrums beyond the mountain Indian dC7rums that you can't hGear
There are dC7rums beyond the mGountain and they're gD7etting mighty nGear
Long PGine and Sequoia Handsome LC7ake and Sitting BGull
There's MC7agnus ColorGado with his slD7eeves so red and full
CGrazy Horse the legend those who bC7it off Custer's sGoul
They are dC7ead yet they are lGiving with the gD7reat GeronimGo
And there are dGrums beyond the mountain Indian dC7rums that you can't hGear
There are dC7rums beyond the mGountain and they're gD7etting mighty nGear
Well you may tGeach me this land's history but we tC7aught it to you fGirst
We broke your hC7earts and bent your jGourneys: broken tD7reaties left us cursed
Even nGow you have to cheat us even tC7hough you this us tGame
In our lC7osing we found pGroudness in your wD7inning you found sGhame
And there are dGrums beyond the mountain Indian dC7rums that you can't hGear
There are dC7rums beyond the mGountain and they're gD7etting mighty nGear
