EmDGCEmDEmCGDEmEmB
They lived in peace not long ago
EmB
a mighty Indian tribe
CCEmDG
but the winds of change have made them realize
AmD
that the promises were lies
EmB
The white man's greed in search of gold
EmB
made the nation bleed
CCEmDG
They had lost their faith and now they had to learn
AmBmCD
there was no place to return nowhere they could turn
EmDGCEmDEmCGD
Cherokee marching on the trail of tears
EmDGCEmDEmCGDEm
Cherokee marching on the trail of tears
Verse 2:
They were driven hard across the plains
And walked for many moons
'Cause the winds of change
Had made them realize that the promises were lies
So much to bear, all that pain
Left them in despair.
