Indian Wars

Em                             
Out in the desert where the wind 
         G
never stops
Em                                
A few simple people try to grow a 
      G
few crops
C                   Am7          G
Trying to maintain a life and a home
D                   C     Am7   
On land that was theirs before 
                 G
the Romans found Rome
Em                              
A few dozen survivors, ragged but 
   G
proud
Em                           
With a few woolly sheep, under 
             G
gathering cloud
C                   Am7          
It's never been easy, or free 
     G
from strife

D                    C      Am7 
But the pulse of the land is the
                 G
 pulse of their life
Em                             
You thought it was over but it's 
             G
just like before
D                     C       
Will there never be an end to 
Am7         G
the Indian wars?
Em                                
It's not breech-loading rifles and
               G
 wholesale slaughter
Em                         
It's kickbacks and thugs and 
            G
diverted water
C                    Am7         
Treaties get signed and the 
          G
papers change hands
D                       C        
But they might as well draft 
Am7              G
these agreements in sand
Em                            G
Noble Savage on the cinema screen
Em                                 
An Indian's good when he cannot be 
G
seen
C                      Am7        
And the so-called white so-called 
 G
race
D           C        Am7       G
Digs for itself a pit of disgrace
Em                             
You thought it was over but it's 
               G
just like before
D                      C    Am7 
Will there never be an end to 
          G
the Indian wars?
