[Verse 1]
F G
Look at me, brave Sitting Bull
Am
In this gondola canoe
F C
Bill Cody brings us smoke and meat
E7 Am
So what are we to do
[Verse 2]
F
I came across the water
C E7 Am
In a boat no man could row
F
To play a war in front of strangers
G Am
In Cody's Wild West Show
[Chorus]
F
Whoopi-ti,
Am
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
[Verse 3]
F
I've seen their Eiffel Tower
G Am
And the wonders of their world
F
Saloons where drunken white men
C E7 Am
Stared at naked, dancing girls
[Verse 4]
F C
And I close my eyes and see the Big Horn valley
E7 Am
Harvest moons ago
F
That bloody hair of Custer
G Am
Hanging from our victory pole
[Chorus]
F
Whoopi-ti,
Am
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
F
Whoopi-ti,
Am
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
[Instrumental]
F Am F Am
[Verse 5]
F
See me staring calmly
G Am
From your magic photograph
F
In this gondola canoe
C E7 Am
Am I about to cry or laugh
[Verse 6]
F
My spirit rides with Red Cloud
C E7 Am
Black Bear and Buffalo
F
My dreams fly with the heron
G Am
The grey crane and the crow
[Chorus]
F
Whoopi-ti,
Am
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
F
Whoopi-ti,
Am
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
F Am
Whoopi-ti
F
Whoopi-ti,
Am
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
