they took the whole cher-o-kee na-tion
6 7 -8 -7 -77 6 6 6
put us on this res-er-va-tion

took a-way our way of life
6 7 -8 -8 -8 -77 6 6

6 7 -8 -8 -7 7 -7
took a-way our na-tive tongue
6 7 -8 -8 -77 6 6
taught their eng-lish to our young
6 6 7 -8 -8 -7 7 -7
and all the beads we made by hand
6 6 7 -8 -8 -7 7 6
are now-a-days made in ja-pan

I’m still a red-man deep in-side

-7 -7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 6 6
Cher-o-kee peo-ple, cher-o-kee tribe
-7 -7 7 -7 -9* -9* -8 -8
so proud you lived, so proud you died

6 6 7 -8 -8 -7 7 -7
But may-be some-day when they’ve learned
6 6 7 -8 -8 -7 7 6
Cher-o-kee na-tion will re-turn.
