He wrote a song for a [G] movie a long time ago about Native American people and it became
a big hit, both the movie and the [C#] song, in Asia and [N] Canada and here and the rest of Europe.
But it was taken out of the theaters in the U.S. where I was hoping it could [G] do somebody
some [G#m] good and [G] nobody ever heard it.
So many thanks for liking this song.
