Trail Of Tears Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 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
