Was the night - I was young
         A		   C          D
When my father called for his first born son
        Em 	    C
Took me place at his side
           A			D    D#
While this great chief raged in the fire light
       Em		   C
We'd reclaim days of old
        A			    Em		     G	
If the tribe would do what his dream foretold

D			  Em		G
Praying to the vision of the promised land
D			  Em	 
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums
   G    D				Em
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan
           C
When the shots rang out, there soldiers all around
           A
And their cannons put an end to our holy singin' of

Em		   Em	      D   A   Em
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance singin'

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

    A   Em        C
Hypnotized by my tale
    A		       C        D		Em
Generations learn of the Great Betrayal long ago
           C
At Wounded Knee
           A			 C      D
Where our grandfathers bled for what they believed
         Em	     C	       A
Wouldn't buy what they sold  reservation
             Em			 G
Life for our Black Hills gold

D			      Em		     G
For praying to the vision of the promised land
D			  Em	 
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums
   G    D				Em
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan
        C						  A
And the Great Spirit cried when our warriors fell to the hail of
The blue coat's guns (so we're singin')

Em		   Em	      D   A   Em

         Em	      C
For your soul, for your name
      A			      C		D
Many brave men's blood's running through your veins
           Em		 C
Leave your mark - walk with pride
        A			C	   D
Live in honor to those who gave their lives
         Em		C
Ancient hearts are rest in peace 
        A	   	        G Em	       C  A
Till we sing and dance, and set them free
