_ _ _ They _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ took [C] the whole Cherokee [Fm] Nation, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ put us on this [Cm] reservation. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Took away our way [Fm] of life, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ tomahawk and the bow [Cm] knife. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Took away our native [F] tongue, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ taught their English to our [Cm] young. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
And all the beads we [Bb] made by [Fm] hand, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ are now days made [C] in Japan.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ Cherokee people, _ [Cm] _ _ _ Cherokee tribe, _ _ _ so proud you live, _ _ [Gm] _ so proud [G] you die.

_ _ [C] _ _ They [F] took the whole Indian Nation, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ put us on this _ [C] reservation. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They built [Cm] houses by [Fm] the score, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ don't need _ teepees [F] [C] anymore. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, they've changed our [F] ways of old, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ they'll never change our [Cm] heart of soul. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ And someday when the world [Fm] learn, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Cherokee in June will [Cm] return. _ _
When _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ we return, when we return, [Bb] when we [C] return. _ _
