D A C G(X2)
[D]A banner year 18[A]64, don't want the red man any[C]more,
Can't have them [G]taking up good [D]land.
Give them a token flag, trade [A]pipes and shake some hands,
[C]Tell them the white stripes [G]stand for peace.
[D]Say if they raise red white and [A]blue,
Blue coats will never shoot at [C]you,
But stripes will [G]loose their sheen,
[D]Black Kettle was their chief,[A] he only wanted peace,
[C]Under the flag...a [G]massacre at Sand Creek.
[A]Wave your flag. [C] Salivate.
[G]Stirring feelings of [D]pride and hate.
[A]A peace of [C]cloth can't hold your [D]faith.
[G]No flag [D]flies, no banner [F]waves,
See the empty [C]pole above his empty grave.
[G]No one [D]knows where he [F]lies,
and no [C]one know just why he had to die.
[D] [G]
[D]A banner year [A]1868, [C]a bitter end a [G]twist of fate.
[D]Maps won't hold this mela[A]noma,
Blurry part of Okla[C]homa,
Where Custer [G]shot and killed Black Kettle.
[A]Wave your flag. [C]Salivate.
[G]Stirring feelings of [D]pride and hate.
[A]A peace of [C]cloth can't hold your [D]faith.
[G]No flag [D]flies, no banner [F]waves,
See the empty [C]pole above his empty grave.
[G]No one [D]knows where he [F]lies,
and no [C]one know just why he had to die.
C F(X2)
[G]A promise[C] is a promise,
[G]A judge of[C] character.
[A]His banner [D]over me is [A]lo[D]ve.
G D F C (X4)
[G]No flag [D]flies, no banner [F]waves,
See the empty [C]pole above his empty grave.
[G]No one [D]knows where he [F]lies,
and no [C]one know just why he had to die.
[G]No flag [D]flies, no banner [F]waves,
See the empty [C]pole above his empty grave.
[G]No one [D]knows where he [F]lies,
and no [C]one know just why he had to die.
