[Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ They _ _ _ _ _ _ _ took the whole [G] Cherokee Nation, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ put us on this _ [D] reservation. _ _

Took away our [G] ways of life, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the charm of hawk and the [D] bow and knife. _ _

Took away our [G] native tongue, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and taught their English [D] to our young. _
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ all the beads we made [Gm] by hand, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ on our workdays made [D] in Japan. _ _
