G C7 G From the Indian reservation to the governmental school C7 G D7 Well they're going to educate me to the white men's Golden Rule G C7 G And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed C7 G D7 G And I come when they call Billy though I've got an Indian name Chorus: G C7 G And there are drums beyond the mountain, Indian drums that you can't hear C7 G D7 G There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near And when they think that they'd changed me cut my hair to meet their needs Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter blood or just half breed Let me tell you Mr teacher when you say you'll make me right In five hundred years of fighting, not one Indian turned white Chorus Well you thought that I knew nothing when you brought me here to school Just another empty Indian just America's first fool But now I can tell you stories that are burnt and dried and old But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold Chorus Long Pine and Sequoia, Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo Chorus Well you may teach me this land's history but we taught it to you first We broke your hearts and bent your journeys: broken treaties left us cursed Even now you have to cheat us, even though you this us tame In our losing we found proudness, in your winning you found shame Chorus | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  C7  D7  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
