Start Jamming...
[C#]
They took the whole Cherokee [F#] Nation, brought us [F#m] on this [C#m] reservation.
[C#]
Took away our ways [F#] of life, arm of hawk and the bow and knife.
[C#m]
Took away our [F#] native tongue, and taught their English to [C#m] our young.
And
[C#]
all the beads we [C#m] made [F#] by [F#m] hand, are [F#] now what days made in [C#] Japan.
[C#m] [F#m]
Cherokee people, [C#m]
Cherokee tribe, [F#m] so proud to live, [G#] so proud to die.
[C#m]
[C#] They took the whole Indian [F#] Nation, [F#m]
[B] [F#m] locked us on this [C#m] reservation.
[E] Though I [C#m] wear a shirt [F#] or tie,
[F#m] I'm still a red man [E] deep inside.
[F#] [C#m]
[F#m] Cherokee people,
[C#m] Cherokee tribe,
[F#m] so proud to [F#] live, [G#] so [G#m] proud to die.
[C#] [A#]
But maybe someday [A] when they've learned, [F#m]
[G#] Cherokee Nation will [C#] return.
They'll return, they'll return, they'll return, they'll return.
