[Em]Ooh[D][C][G][D][E][Em]
They lived in [B]peace, not long [E]ago
A mighty [Em]Indian [B]tribe[D][C]
But the winds [D]of change[Em]
Have [D]made them real[G]ize
That the [Am]promises were [D]lies, [Em]oh
The [E]white man's [B]greed
In search of [E]gold
[Em]Made[E] the nation [Em]blee[B]d[D][C]
They have lost [D]their faith

[Verse 4]
They [E]were driven [Em]hard[B]
Across the plain[Em]s
And walked for many [B]moons[D][C]
'Cause the winds of [D]change[Em]
Had [D]made them real[G]ize
That the [Am]promises were [D]lies[Em]
So much to [B]bear
And all that [E]pain
[Em]Left them in [B]despair[D][C]
They have lost [D]their faith

[Verse 5]

And [D]now they had [G]to learn
[Am]There was no place to [Bm]re turn
[C]Nowhere they could [D]turn
