Chords for Peter Rowan - Mark O'Connor - Jerry Douglas "Land Of The Navajo"

I'd like to play you a song that I wrote out in southern Utah
_ _ _ overlooking _ Monument Valley in Arizona,
the sacred mountains of the land of the [G] Navajo.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Oh, _ the wind [G] blows cold
[D] on the _ _ trail of the [Em] buffalo.
_ _ _ _ [C]
Oh, _ the wind [G] blows cold
in [D] the land of the [Em] Navajo,
_ _ [C] _ in [D] the land of the [Em] Navajo. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Well, a hundred miles from nowhere,
[C] out on the desert sand,
_ [D] one-eyed Jack the Trader
held some turquoise [G] in his hand. _
_ _ By his side sat running [C] elk,
his long-time Indian friend.
[D] He vowed that he would stay by Jack
until the bitter [G] end. _
Jack had gambled everything he [C] owned
to lead this wandering life.
[D] He might have had a happy home
or a tender loving [G] wife,
_ but his hunger was for trading
[C] trapper's furs for turquoise stone.
[D] _ Anything that the Indians had,
Jack wanted for [G] his own.
_ _ _ [C] Oh, the wind [G] blows cold
on the [D]
trail of the [Em] buffalo. _ _ _ _
[C] Oh, the wind [G] blows _ cold
in [D] the land of the [Em] Navajo,
_ [C] _ [Bm] in the _ _ [D] land of the [Em] Navajo. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] I said, Jack to running elk,
I'll [C] gamble all my precious stones
[D] before I leave my body here
among these [G] bleaching bones. _ _
For now my time is drawing [C] near
and I'm filled with dark regret.
[D] My spirit longs to journey
as the sun begins [G] to _ _ set. _ _ _
We've raped and killed,
we stole your land,
[C] we ruled with guns and knives.
[D] Fed a whiskey to your warriors
while we stole [Gm] away your wives.
[G] _ _ I said to running elk,
what's done is done,
[C] you white men rule this land.
[D] So lay the cards face up
and play your last [G] broken-hearted hand.
_ _ [C] Oh, _ the wind [G] blows cold
[D] on the trail of [Em] the buffalo.
_ _ _ _ [C] Oh, the wind [G] blows _ cold
in the [D] _ land of the [Em] Navajo,
_ _ [C]
in [D] the _ land of [Em] the Navajo. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _

_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] And when you're dealing cards
with death, the [C] joker's wild,
the ace is high.
[D] Jack bet the Mississippi River,
running elk raised him [G] the sky.
_ Jack saw him with the sun and [C] moon
and knocked him with the stars.
[D] Running elk bet the Rocky Mountains,
Jupiter [G] and Mars. _ _ _ _ _
And the sun was sinking in the [C] west
when Jack drew the ace of spades.
[D] Running elk just rolled his eyes
and smiled [G] and passed away. _ _ _
Jack picked up the [A] [C] sturquoise stones
and cast them into the sky.
He [D] stared into the setting sun
and he [G] made a mournful cry.
[Gm] _ _ [A] _ [B] _ [C] Oh, the wind [G] blows cold
[D] on the trail of the [Em] buffalo. _ _ _ _
[C] Oh, the [G] wind blows cold
[Bm] in the [D] land of the [Em] Navajo,
[C] _ in [Bm] the [D] land of the [Em] _ _ _ Navajo. _ _ _ _
