[Verse]
              B              E  
They lived in peace not long ago
E7              B7    C
A mighty Indian tribe ■
                 Em    
But the winds of change
D              G      
Have made them realize
         Am            D    E
That the promises were lies ■
E7                 B    
■  The white man's greed
             E   
In search of gold
                B    
Made the nation bleed
C                      Em   
■ They have lost their faith
D                G       
And now they had to learn
Am                    Bm     Bm7
There was no place to return ■  
C                  D   
Nowhere they could turn

[Verse]
                 B   
They were driven hard
           E     
Across the plains
    E7              B    
And walked for many moons
C                    Em    
■ Cause the winds of change
D             G      
Had made them realize
         Am       D    E   
That the promises were lies
           B   
So much to bear
    B7       E   
And all that pain
             B       C
Left them in despair ■
                     Em   
They have lost their faith
D                G       
And now they had to learn
Am                    Bm    
There was no place to return
C                  D   
Nowhere they could turn
