Apache Tears

C               G            C  
Hoof prints and foot prints, 
                  F
deep ruts the wagons made
    C              G             
The victor and the loser came by 
C      G
here
   C               G              
no head stones but these bones 
   C               F
bring Mascalero death moans
C                    F           
see the smooth black nuggets by 
   G                C
the thousands laying here
C             F             G   
petrified but justified are 
         C
these Apache tears

C           G          C        
Dead grass, dry roots, hunger 
     F
crying in the night
C               G                
Ghost of broken hearts and laws 
   C     G
are here
    C           G                
And who saw the young squaw they 
C               F
judged by their whiskey law
C                 G               
Tortured till she died of pain and 
 C
fear
          C                F      
Where the soldiers lay her back 
      G            C
are the black Apache tears


    C              G          
The young men, the old men, the 
  C              F
guilty and the innocent
C                  G             
Bled red blood and chilled alike 
     C      G
with fear
    C            G          C    
The red men, the white men, no 
         F
fight ever took this land
C                  G             
So don't raise the dust when you 
     C
pass here
        C                  F      
They're sleeping and in my keeping
     G            C
 are these Apache tears
