         Em D G C Em D Em C G D Em


Em                    B
  They lived in peace   not long ago
Em                B
  a mighty Indian tribe
C                    C Em     D
  but the winds of change   
             G
have made them realize
              Am          D
  that the promises were lies
Continues after the ad
Em                      B
  The white man's greed   in search 
of gold
Em                  B
  made the nation bleed
C                       C  Em   
  They had lost their faith    
    D               G
and now they had to learn
            Am             Bm    
  there was no place to return   
C                  D
nowhere they could turn

  Cherokee        marching on the
 Em        D      Em C G D
 trail of tears
           Em D G C              
  Cherokee        marching on the
 Em        D      Em C G D     Em
 trail of tears


verse 2:

They were driven hard across the 
plains
And walked for many moons
'Cause the winds of change
Had made them realize that the 
promises were lies
