A    G    Em           C
Was the night - I was young
         A               C          D
When my father called for his first born son
        Em           C
Took me place at his side
           A                  D    D#
While this great chief raged in the fire light
       Em               C
We'd reclaim days of old
        A                      Em                 G      
If the tribe would do what his dream foretold
D                    Em            G
Praying to the vision of the promised land
D                    Em       
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums
   G    D                        Em
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan
           C
When the shots rang out, there soldiers all around
           A
And their cannons put an end to our holy singin' of
Em               Em            D   A   Em
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 
     C                 A                  Em
The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance singin'

    A   Em        C
Hypnotized by my tale
    A                   C        D            Em
Generations learn of the Great Betrayal long ago
           C
At Wounded Knee
           A                   C      D
Where our grandfathers bled for what they believed
         Em           C             A
Wouldn't buy what they sold – reservation
             Em                   G
Life for our Black Hills gold
D                        Em                 G
For praying to the vision of the promised land
D                    Em       
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums
   G    D                        Em
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan
        C                                      A
And the Great Spirit cried when our warriors fell to the hail of
The blue coat's guns (so we're singin')
Em               Em            D   A   Em
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

For your soul, for your name
      A                        C            D
Many brave men's blood's running through your veins
           Em             C
Leave your mark - walk with pride
        A                  C         D
Live in honor to those who gave their lives
         Em            C
Ancient hearts are rest in peace
