[Opening]
[G]
[G]Can you remember the [D]times
[F]That you have held your head [Em]high
[C]Told all your [D]friends of your [G]Indian claim
[D]Proud good lady and [G]proud good [G]man
Some [C]great great grand[D]father from [G]Indian blood sprang
And you [D]feel in your [A]heart for these [D]ones
[verse 2]
Oh, it’s [G]written in books and in [D]songs
That [F]we’ve been mistreated and [Em]wronged [G]
Well [C]over and [D]over I [G]hear those same words
From [D]you good lady and [G]you good [G]man
Well [C]listen to [D]me if you [G]care where we stand
And you [D]feel you’re a [A]part of these [D]ones
[verse 3]
When a [G]war between nations is [D]lost
The [F]loser we know pays the [Em]cost
But [C]even when [D]Germany [G]fell to your hands
Con[D]sider dear lady, con[G]sider dear [G]man
You [C]left them their [D]pride and you [G]left them their lands
And [D]what have you [A]done to these [D]ones
[verse 4]
Has a [G]change come about Uncle [D]Sam
Or [F]are you still taking our [Em]lands
A [C]treaty for[D]ever George [G]Washington signed
He [D]did dear lady, they [G]do dear [G]man
And the [C]treaties being [D]broken by [G]Kinzua Dam
And [D]what will you [A]do for these [D]ones
[Closing]
Oh, it’s [G]all in the past you can [D]say
But it’s [F]still going on here to[Em]day
The [C]governments [D]now want the [G]Iriqois land
[D]That of the Se[G]neca and the Chey[G]enne
It’s [C]here and it’s [D]now you can [G]help us dear man
[D]Now that the buffalo’s [G]gone.
