Indian Sunset
Ton : G#English
As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee
Oh I went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
D#mThis I can't believe I said, I can't belD#m9ieve our warlord's dead
Oh he D#m9would not leave thG#m/D#e chosen ones to D#m7the buzzards and the soldiers guns
Oh greaD#mt father of the Iroquois ever D#m9since I was young
I've read the writG#m/D#ing of the smoke anD#m9d breast fed on the sound of drums
I've D#mlearned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painD#m7ted pony wild
To D#m9run the gauntlet of G#m/D#the Sioux, to makD#m9e a chieftain's daughter mine
And D#mnow you ask that I should watch
The D#mred man's race be slowlD#m7y crushD#m9ed
What D#mkind of words arG#m/D#e these to hear
From D#m9Yellow Dog whom white man fears
