Em (022000@1)                                    GOut (320003@1)in the desert where the wind never stops
Em (022000@1)                                    GA (320003@1)few simple people try to grow a few crops
C (x32010@1)                 Am7 (x02010@1)        GTrying (320003@1)to maintain a life and a home
D (xx0232@1)                 C (x32010@1)   Am7 (x02010@1)                  GOn (320003@1)land that was theirs before the Romans found Rome
Em (022000@1)                               GA (320003@1)few dozen survivors, ragged but proud
Em (022000@1)                                      GWith (320003@1)a few woolly sheep, under gathering cloud
C (x32010@1)                 Am7 (x02010@1)             GIt's (320003@1)never been easy, or free from strife
D (xx0232@1)                  C (x32010@1)    Am7 (x02010@1)                GBut (320003@1)the pulse of the land is the pulse of their life
Em (022000@1)                                        GYou (320003@1)thought it was over but it's just like before
D (xx0232@1)                   C (x32010@1)     Am7 (x02010@1)       GWill (320003@1)there never be an end to the Indian wars?
Em (022000@1)                                             GIt's (320003@1)not breech-loading rifles and wholesale slaughter
Em (022000@1)                                   GIt's (320003@1)kickbacks and thugs and diverted water
C (x32010@1)                  Am7 (x02010@1)                 GTreaties (320003@1)get signed and the papers change hands
D (xx0232@1)                     C (x32010@1)      Am7 (x02010@1)            GBut (320003@1)they might as well draft these agreements in sand
Em (022000@1)                          GNoble (320003@1)Savage on the cinema screen
Em (022000@1)                               GAn (320003@1)Indian's good when he cannot be seen
C (x32010@1)                    Am7 (x02010@1)       GAnd (320003@1)the so-called white so-called race
D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)      Am7 (x02010@1)     GDigs (320003@1)for itself a pit of disgrace
Em (022000@1)                                          GYou (320003@1)thought it was over but it's just like before
D (xx0232@1)                    C (x32010@1)  Am7 (x02010@1)         GWill (320003@1)there never be an end to the Indian wars?
