A7 - 2 - / / D / / / 2 / / / 3

They took the whole Cherokee nation

Put us on this reservation

(for rest of verse, repeat pattern of above 2 lines):

Took away our ways of life

The tomahawk and the Bowie knife

Took away our native tongue

And taught their English to our young

And all the beads we made by hand

Are nowadays made in Japan

G (break) / D (break) /

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe

G (break) / A7 D

So proud to live, so proud to die

Verse 2:

They took the whole Indian nation

Locked us on this reservation

Though I wear a shirt and tie

I'm still a red man deep inside

(chorus)

Verse 3:

But maybe someday when they've learned

The Cherokee nation will return

(vocal crescendo):

Will return, will return, will return, will return!
