Geronimo

Bbm


[Verse 1]

The moon shone down with an eerie 
light

And cast its beam on the lonely 
night.

Shadows danced, a fluttering breeze

Stirred dead branches in the trees.
    Ebm
The land laid waste, a chill in the 
air
    Bbm
Was proof that disaster had struck 
there.
    Gb
The moaning wind and the glistening 
snow
Ebm                        Bbm
Seemed to whisper: Geronimo!
      Db C B    Bbm
Geronimo, Geronimo


[Verse 2]

A train of settlers left one day

From somewhere back east, they say.

A song in their heart and hopes 
unfurled

To build a life in the western world
Ebm
Husband, wives, kids by the score
Bbm
Smiling faces, dreams galore
Gb
Future bright, but soon they'd know
Ebm             F         Bbm  Bm
The ominous name: Geronimo!

[Verse 3]

Storm clouds gathered a few weeks 
out

Then came a spell of want and 
drought

Sick with fear they lost their way

On their knees they began to pray
        C#m
And the prays were answered, a 
guiding hand
Bm
Showed the way to the promised land
G
The wind moaned to let them know
Em                        Bm
The man was known as Geronimo!
      D C#  C   Bm
Geronimo, Geronimo



[Verse 3]

A curl of smoke on the distant hill

A sign of peril ignored until

They suddenly saw with gasping 
breathe

Their doom was sealed by the hand of
 death
    Em
For there on a stallion sat their 
fate
Bm
Filled with a devilry, savage hate
G
Decked in war paint, all in glow
Em               F#       Bm   Cm
The warrior chief Geronimo!


[Verse 4]

The settler’s wagons were wrecked 
and burned

Men were killed wherever they turned

An area where women and child were 
spared
Those alive stood shocked and scared
  Eb D Db Cm

Fm
The nation mourned this conny drag
Cm
Could hard believe the terrible fact
Ab
The tomahawks singing, arrows and 
bow
Fm                        G       Cm
Was a work of a man called Geronimo!
      Eb D Db   Cm
Geronimo, Geronimo


[Verse 5]

He appeared one day at the stock 
gate door

Finally brought before the Lord to 
stand his trial

The verdict he got

Come to sunrise, he'd be shot
Fm
The same moon shines on a lonely 
night
           C
And now it shines with a peaceful 
light
    Ab
But should you listen to the falling
 snow
            Fm             C
You hear it murmur: Geronimo!
      Eb D Db   C
Geronimo, Geronimo
