A# / D#m
(*)
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 war lance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
D#m
This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
D#m G#m D#m
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns
D#m
Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young
D#m G#m D#m
I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums
D#m
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
D#m G#m D#m
To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine
D#m
And now you ask that I should watch the red man's race be slowly crushed
D#m G#m D#m
What kind of words are these to hear from Yellow Dog whom white man fears
(D#m )*

I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
G Bm Em G C Am Em D
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride
Am D G C
I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
Em Am G F Am G C
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run
G Bm Em G C Am Em D
Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand
G Bm Em G C Am Em D
Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands

I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead

Now there seems no reason why I should carry on
Am G C D
In this land that once was my land I can't find a home
Em G C G
It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
Am G C D
And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running
Em G C G
For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones
Am G C D
Where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns
Em G C G
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
Am G C Em ( C Em)
And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet ho________________le.
