[Em][D][Em][D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]
[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
Thick cloud, [Em]steam
rising, [Bm]hissing stone [Em]on sweat l[D]odge f[Em]ire[D][Bm][Em]
Around me, buf[Bm]falo [Em]roam, sage in [D]bundle,
[Em]run on s[D]kin[Em][D][Em][D][Em]
[D]Out[Bm]side, [Em]cold [D]air, [Bm]stand,
[D]wait for rising sun[Bm][D][Em][D][Em][D]
[Em]Red [D]paint, e[Em]agle feathers, coyote call[D]ing,
it has [Em]begun[Bm][Em][Bm]
[D]Something moving [Em]in, I taste it [D]in my mouth
and in [Em]my he[D]art[Em][Bm][Em][D][Bm]
[D]It [Em]feels like [Bm]dying, [Em]slow,
[G]let[Bm]ting go of li[Em]fe

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][Em][D]
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Medicine man lead me up [D]though town,
[Bm]Indi[Em]an ground, so far do[D]wn[Em]
Cut up land, each house, a [D]pool,
[Em]kids wearing water wings, drink in cool
Follow dry river bed,
watch Scout and Guides make [D]pow-wow [G]signs
[Em]signs
Past Geronimo's disco,
Sit 'n' Bull [D]steakhouse, white [G]men [Em]dream
A [G]rattle in the old man's sack,
look at mountain top, keep [Em]climbing up
[G]Way above us the desert snow,
white wind blow
[Em]

[Verse 3]
I hold the [C]line, the line of strength that pulls
me through the [G]fear[D][Bm][Em]
San [C]Jacinto, I [Em]hold the [G]line[D][Bm][Em]
San [C]Jacinto, the poison bite and darkness take my [G]sight,
[Bm]I hold the line[Em]
And the [D]tears roll down my swollen cheek,
think [G]I'm losing it, getting weaker
I hold the [C]line, I hold the [G]line[Em]
San [C]Jacinto, yellow eagle flies down from the sun,
[G]fro[Em]m the[Bm] sun[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[Em]

[Verse 4]
We will walk, on the land
We will breathe, of the air
We will drink, from the stream
We will live, hold the line
Hold the line
Hold the line
