Indian Sunset
Ton : AbEnglish
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
EbmThis I can't believe I said, I can't belEbm9ieve our warlord's dead
Oh he Ebm9would not leave thAbm/Ebe chosen ones to Ebm7the buzzards and the soldiers guns
Oh greaEbmt father of the Iroquois ever Ebm9since I was young
I've read the writAbm/Ebing of the smoke anEbm9d breast fed on the sound of drums
I've Ebmlearned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painEbm7ted pony wild
To Ebm9run the gauntlet of Abm/Ebthe Sioux, to makEbm9e a chieftain's daughter mine
And Ebmnow you ask that I should watch
The Ebmred man's race be slowlEbm7y crushEbm9ed
What Ebmkind of words arAbm/Ebe these to hear
From Ebm9Yellow Dog whom white man fears
