[G#] [F#]
[C#]
The whole [F#] Cherokee Nation was on this
[C#] reservation
Took away our [F#] ways of life
The tomahawk and the [C#] bow and knife
Took away our [F#] native tongues
And taught their English [C#] to our young
And all the beads we made [F#m] by hand
[F#] Are now what they made [C#] in Japan
Cherokee

people [C#m] Cherokee pride
[F#m] So proud to live
[G#] So proud to die
[C#]
The whole Indian [F#] Nation

Walked us on this [C#m] reservation
[E] Though [C#m]
our wails sure [F#m] did tire
I'm still a Redman deep [C#m] inside
