Em [4X] D

A    G    Em           C
Was the night - I was young
         A               C        
When my father called for his 
  D
first born son
        Em           C
Took me place at his side
           A                  D    
While this great chief raged in the
D#
 fire light
       Em               C
We'd reclaim days of old
        A                      Em 
If the tribe would do what his 
                G
dream foretold


D                    Em   
Praying to the vision of the 
         G
promised land
D                    Em
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums
   G    D                        
We were pledging our allegiance to 
Em
Wevoka's plan
           C
When the shots rang out, there 
soldiers all around
           A
And their cannons put an end to our 
holy singin' of


Em               Em            D 
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, 
  A   Em
oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
     C                 A       
The first cowboys were doing the 
           Em
Ghostdance singin'
                     Em            
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, 
D   A   Em
oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
     C                  A

    A   Em        C
Hypnotized by my tale
    A                   C    
Generations learn of the Great 
    D            Em
Betrayal long ago
           C
At Wounded Knee
           A                   C  
Where our grandfathers bled for 
    D
what they believed
         Em           C     
Wouldn't buy what they sold – 
        A
reservation
             Em                   G
Life for our Black Hills gold


D                        Em      
For praying to the vision of the 
           G
promised land
D                    Em
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums
   G    D                        
We were pledging our allegiance to 
Em
Wevoka's plan
        C                          
And the Great Spirit cried when our
            A
 warriors fell to the hail of

The blue coat's guns (so we're 
singin')


Em               Em            D

Many brave men's blood's running
