Indian Reservation
John D. Loudermilk / Don Fardon
| Am | Dm |
| They took the whole Cherokee | Nation |
| Am |
| And put us on this reser | vation. |
| Dm |
| They took away our ways of | life, |
| Am |
| The tomahawk and the | bow and knife. |
| Am | Dm |
| They took away our native | tongue |
| Am |
| And taught their English to | our young. |
| Dm |
| And all the beads we made by | hand |
| Am |
| Are nowadays made in | Japan. |
| Dm | Am |
| Cherokee people -- | Cherokee tribe. |
| Dm | E |
| So proud to life -- | so proud to die! |
| Am | Dm |
| They took the whole Indian | Nation |
| Am |
| And locked us on this reser | vation. |
| Dm |
| And though I wear a shirt and | tie, |
| Am |
| I'm still a red man deep in | side! |
| Dm | Am |
| Cherokee people -- | Cherokee tribe. |
| Dm | E |
| So proud to life -- | so proud to die! |
| Am | Dm |
| But may be someday when they | learn |
| Am |
| Cherokee nation will re | turn! Will return -- will return -- will return. Will Return! |
