[Verse]
F#           C#m7
The memory remains
B
They built an iron road to cross the plains
F#            C#m7
He was just a child
E               B
And the buffalo still were wild
F#                         C#m7
He heard the voices in his head
B
Ancestors are calling you is what they said
F#                    C#m7
Then the vision did appear
E                          B
Twelve black horses he was full of fear

[Chorus]
F#   C#m                B
The storms were in his eyes
F#    C#m            B
Black Elk was on the rise
F#            C#m           E B/Eb B
He healed his people and he never  lost
    E  B/Eb B      F#
The visions in his mind

[Verse]
F#                      C#m7
He turned east into the sun
B
Dancing horses beckoned him to come
F#           C#m7
Gazing from afar
E                         B
His eyes glimmered like a daybreak star
F#                         C#m7
He saw the elders gathered round
B
Old as the hills rising from the ground
F#                       C#m7
In their knowledge he'd abide
E                            B
Upon the black road he would ride

[Chorus]
F#   C#m                B
The storms were in his eyes
F#    C#m            B
Black Elk was on the rise

F#            C#m           E B/Eb B
He healed his people and he never  lost
    E  B/Eb B      C#m    C#7
The visions in his mind

[Verse]
F#                C#m7
With eagle on the wing
B
A thousand voices began to sing
F#                            C#m7
He struck the blue man in the heart
E                      B
Then the sky seemed to break apart
F#             C#m7
The flames had died
B
In gladness all the creatures cried
F#                     C#m7
Then the rain began to fall
E                              B
The drought was broken and the grass grew tall

[Chorus]
F#   C#m                B
The storms were in his eyes
F#    C#m            B
