[D]Well, the good times scratch the laugh
From the lungs of the young men
At [G]a Deadwood saloon,
[D]South Dakota aft[A]ernoon
The [D]old ones by the door
[A]with [D]their heads to their chests
They [G]told lies about whiskey
on [D]a woman's [A]breath
Yes, and [D]some tell the story
[A]of [G]young Nicky Free
[D]Lost an [G]eye to a buck deer
in the [A]Tongue River Valley
Oh, and some [D]tell the story
[A]of [G]California [D]joy
Who [G]sent word through the Black Hills
there was a [A]mountain of gold
And [Bm]the gold she laid [A]cold
in their [G]pockets
And the [Bm]sun she sets down [F#m]on the tre[G]es
[Bm]They thank the Lord
[A]for [G]the land that they live in
Where the [D]white man [A]does
as he [Bm]pleases[A][D]
Some flat shoe fool [A]from [D]the
[G]east comes [D]a -runnin'
And [G]some news that he'd read
in some [A]St. Joseph pa[Asus4]per
[A]And it was [D]drinks all around,
[A]and the new[G]s he [D]was telling
Was the [G]one they'd called crazy,
been [Asus4]caught and been dealt wi[A]th[D]
And the Easterner,
he read the news from the paper
[G]And the old ones gathered closer
so [A]as they could [Asus4]hear better[A]
[D]Well it says here the
crazy horse was killed
[A]while try[G]ing to [D]escape
It [G]was sometime last September
and it [A]don't give the
[Asus4]exact dat[A]e[Asus4]
[A]And [Bm]the gold she laid [A]cold in [G]their pockets
And the [Bm]sun she sets down [F#m]on the tre[G]es
They [Bm]thank the Lord
[A]for [G]the land that they live in
Where the [D]white man [A]does
as [Bm]he pleases
[A]Where the [D]white man [A]does as he [Bm]pleases[F#m][A][D][A][Bm]
[A][G][Asus4][A][D][A][Bm][A][G]
[Asus4][A]
And the [D]talk turned back
[A]to [D]whi[G]skey an [D]d women
Cold [G]nights on the plains,
Lord, and [A]fighting
[D]The Easterner says he'll have
[A]one more before [G]he goes.[D]
He gives the [G]paper to the crow boy,
He sweep[Asus4]s up the floor.[A]
And the [Bm]gold's still way cold
[A]in their [G]pockets,
And the [Bm]sun still sets d[F#m]own on the t[G]ree.
They [Bm]thank the Lord
[A]for [G]the land that they live in
Where the [D]white man [A]does
as he [Bm]pleases
[A]Where the white [D]man [A]does as he [Bm]pleases
[A]Where the whi[D]te man doe[A]s as he ple[Bm]ases
As he [A]wants to,
as he [D]pleases[A]
