C                       G
Seen him playing in his backyard
F                        C
Young boy just starting out
G       E7              Am
So much history in this landscape
Bb                         G
So much confusion, so much doubt
C                            G
Been there drinking on that front 
porch
F                     C
Angry kids, mean and dumb
G            E7               
Looks like a painting, that blue

'Home of the brave' don't make no

sense
             E
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in 
wire
        Am
Left to die on a high ridge fence
                  Dm               
It's a cold, cold wind, It's a 
       C
cold, cold wind

[Verse 2]
C                   G
See two coyotes run down a deer
F                        C
Hate what we don't understand
G      E7                 Am
You pioneers give us your children
Bb                            
But it's your blood that stains 
        E Am E
their hands

[Chorus]
F              C

[Bridge]
E                            Am
Somewhere that road forks up ahead
E                    Am
To ignorance and innocence
F                              G
Three lives drift on different winds
           E                Am    
Two lives ruined, one life spent
