G D No more beautiful moons may we spend on our land C D G In the north, the scarlet council talks of war G D And the long knives have massacred the tribe and burned cold C D G We're not welcome in our homeland anymore G D No more songs of the hunters on the buffalo plain C D G No more smoke from sacred fires touch these hills G D And the numbers of the people grow fewer every mile C D G And our children will not learn the Great Spirit's ways C G There will be a trail of tears C Em There will be a trail of pain C G D Em And Jackson will have the Mississippi and the twenty dollar bill C D G But for us the trail is all that will remain G D On the streets of rapid City On the road to Wounded Knee C D G There is whiskey for forgetting everything G D But the old ones say there may be time for learning from each other C D G The way that it had once been meant to be C G There will be a trail of tears C Em There will be a trail of pain C G D Em And Jackson has got the Mississippi and the twenty dollar bill C D G But for us the trail of tears remains C G D Em And Jackson's got the Mississippi and the twenty dollar bill C D G But how long will the trail of tears remain
