 E                                   
 Oh Cherokee Chief as he dances along
 
 he sings an Indian boogie to a white man??s song
 
 Chorus
         A                               
 Singin?? ??Hey Ho-alena?? (Hey Ho-alena)

 E                                                  
 Well he dances over here, and he dances over there.
 
 And he dances with a squaw called ??Standin?? Bear??
 
 (Chorus)
 
 Guitar Solo
 
 E                                               
 Well he dances in a trot and he dances in a walk
 
 but he keeps on a shakin?? his old tommyhawk
 
 (Chorus)
 
 E                                                    
 Now he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud
 
 and his tom-tom beats on full blue cloud. ?( Hank sings it this way)
 (so big and proud) ?(actual lyrics)
 (Chorus)
 
 Fiddle Solo
 
 E                                           
 He??s a Cherokee Chief as you all might know
 
 when he sings his boogie sayin?? ??Hey why-yo??
         A                               
 Singin?? ??Hey Ho-alena?? (Hey Ho-alena)
         E                               
 Singin?? ??Hey Ho-alena?? (Hey Ho-alena)
