Trail of Tears Hal Ketchum
No more beautiful moons m[G]ay we spend on our land[D]
In the no[C]rth, the scarlet cou[D]ncil talks of w[G]ar
And the l[G]ong knives have massacred the tr[D]ibe and burned cold
We're not w[C]elcome in our ho[D]meland anymo[G]re
No more s[G]ongs of the hunters on the b[D]uffalo plain
No more s[C]moke from sacred fir[D]es touch these [G]hills
And the n[G]umbers of the people grow fe[D]wer every mile
And our c[C]hildren will not lea[D]rn the Great Sp[G]irit's ways
There will be a tr[C]ail of te[G]ars
There will be a tr[C]ail of pa[Em]in
And Jackson will h[C]ave the Mi[G]ssissippi and the tw[D]enty dollar b[Em]ill
But for u[C]s the trail is a[D]ll that will rema[G]in
On the st[G]reets of rapid City On the r[D]oad to Wounded Knee
There is [C]whiskey for forgetti[D]ng everything[G]
But the o[G]ld ones say there may be time f[D]or learning from each other
The w[C]ay that it had once [D]been meant to b[G]e
There will be a tr[C]ail of te[G]ars
There will be a tr[C]ail of pa[Em]in
And Jackson has go[C]t the Miss[G]issippi and the twen[D]ty dollar bil[Em]l
But for u[C]s the trail of [D]tears remai[G]ns
And Jackson's g[C]ot the Mis[G]sissippi and the twe[D]nty dollar bi[Em]ll
But how [C]long will the tr[D]ail of tears rema[G]in
