Trail Of Tears

Randy Handley

No more [G] beautiful moons may we [Em] spend on our lands

In the [C] north the scarlet [D] councils talks of [G] war [D]

And the [G] long knives have massacred the [Em] tribe and burned

corn

We?re not [C] welcome in our [D] homeland any [G] more

There will be a [C] trail [D] of [G] tears

There will be a [C] trail [D] of [Em] pain [Em/g]

And Jackson will [C] have the Missisis [G] ippi and the [C] twenty

dollar [G] bill

But for [C] us the trail is [D] all that will re [G] main

No more [G] songs of the hunters on the [Em] buffalo plain

No more [C] smoke from sacred [D] fires touch these [G] hills [D]

And the [G] numbers of the people will grow [Em] fewer every mile

And our [C] children will not [D] learn the Great Spirits [G] way

There will be a [C] trail [D] of [G] tears

There will be a [C] trail [D] of [Em] pain [Em/g]

And Jackson will [C] have the Missis [G] sippi and the [C] twenty

dollar [G] bill

But for [C] us the trail is [D] all that will re [G] main

On the [G] streets of Rapid City on the [Em] road to Wounded Knee

There is [C] whiskey for for [D] getting every [G] thing [D]

But the [G] old ones say there may be time from [Em] learning from

each other

The [C] way that it had [D] once been meant to [G] be

There is still a [C] trail [D] of [G] tears

There is still a [C] trail [D] of [Em] pain [Em/g]

And Jackson has [C] got the Missis [G] sippi and the [C] twenty

dollar [G] bill

But for [C] us the trail of [D] tears re [G] main

Jackson has [C] got the Missis [G] sippi and the [C] twenty dollar

[G] bill

But how [C] long will the [D] trail of tears re [G] main
