In the land they call the West

On the prairie’s virgin crest
Gm D
Lived a great man and his braves
Gm D
And he led them to their graves
D Bm D Bm
Big chief plays with baby son
D Bm Gm7 D
The work of the Indians today is done

Life is easy, life is grand
D Bm Gm7 D
‘Til there is white man, gun in hand

Oh oh oh oh oh

D Bm D Bm
Started out when settlers came
D Bm Gm7 D
And built their homes on the Indian range
D Bm D Bm
Big Chief Woolley Bosher liked it none
D Bm Gm7 D
Traded with a bad man for a gun
D Em
Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Big chief looks out at his great land

Locomotive on the prairie stands

Life that leak from the city in the east
D Bm Gm7 D
Let us destroy that iron beast

Big chief rides on the trail tonight
D Bm Gm7 D
Tread the land for which he must fight

In their fight for love and glory

Some Indians were saved

They lived to tell the story
Gm D
And Woolley Bosher prays

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
D Bm D Bm
Big chief rides on the trail tonight
D Bm Gm7 D
Soldier boys marching in the morning light

Bring the guns, bring the bows

Let's blow them into heaven let's see if God

D Bm D Bm
One hundred men must have to die
D Bm Gm7 D
When a thousand soldiers look you in the eye
D Bm D Bm
Big chief sees his men fall round
D Bm Gm7 D
The soldiers kill and the bugle sounds
Gm D
In their fight for love and glory
Gm D
No Indians were saved
Gm D
And Big Chief Woolley Bosher
Gm D
Had written on his grave
D Em
He has done no wrong
Bm
Except being bold
Em
Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
