But the land was already claimed by a people when the cowboy came and when the soldiers came

The story of the American Indian is in a lot of ways a story of tragedy
N.C.
Like that day at Wounded Knee, South Dakota

Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Big Foot was an Indian chief of the Minneconjou band
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
A band of Minneconjou Sioux from South Dakota land
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Big Foot said to Custer "Stay away from Crazy Horse"
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But Custer crossed into Sioux land and he never came back across
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Then Big Foot led his people to a place called Wounded Knee
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And they found themselves surrounded by the 7th Cavalry
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Big chief Big Foot, rise up from your bed
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Minneconjou babies cry for their mothers lying dead
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Big Foot was down with a fever when he reached Wounded Knee
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And his people all were prisoners of the 7th Cavalry
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Two hundred women and children and another hundred men
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Raised up a white flag of peace but peace did not begin
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
An accidental gunshot and Big Foot was first to die
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And over the noise of the rifles you could hear the babies cry
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Big chief Big Foot, it's good that you can't see
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Revenge is being wrought by Custer's 7th Cavalry
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Then smoke hung over the canyon on that cold December day
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
All was death and dying around where Big Foot lay
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Farther on up the canyon some had tried to run and hide
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But death showed no favorites, women, men, and children died
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
One side called it a "massacre", the other a "victory"
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But the white flag is still waving today at Wounded Knee
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Big chief Big Foot, your Minneconjou band
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Is mourned and remembered here in South Dakota land
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Big chief Big Foot, your Minneconjou band
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Is mourned and remembered here in South Dakota land
