INDIAN WEDDING: ROY ORBISON (Roy Orbison) 4/4 - 100
Single 1964, A: It's Over - B: Indian Wedding

As a fan of Roy, I noticed the Chords version on U.G. has a lot
of flaws, so hope you will place this corrected version.

|./.    |: Repeat the previous Chord and Measure of 4-counts.

VERSE 1:

|C                                      |Dm
There once was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow Hand.
  |G7                                   |C
He fell in love with the maiden known as White Sand.
    |./.                                |Dm
They vowed their love would last forever mo-re,
    |G7                               |C    |
then came the day that they had waited for.

VERSE 2:

C (x32010@1)                             |Dm     |
Yellow Hand brought her a golden feather.
G7 (320001@1)                              |C
White Sands said a prayer for good weather.
   |./.                           |Dm
The ceremonial dance grew loud and strong,
    |G7                             |C    |
then Yellow Hand began their wedding song.

CHORUS:

C (x32010@1)   |G7    |C     |F     |./.    |C
O - o, O - o, O - o.   O  -    o, O  -  o.

To-night, tonight, we will be one.
     |C                      |./.         |
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun.
Dm7                 |G7            |C    |D
Oh, White Sand, come hold my lonely hand.

VERSE 3:

|D                                   |Em    |
Then they  left the warmth of the wedding fire,
A7 (x02020@1)                         |D
rode into the hills, climbing higher.
   |./.                            |Em    |
And suddenly the snow came swirling down,
A7 (x02020@1)                                  |D    |
they were lost, the trail could not be found.

CHORUS:

O - o, O - o, O - o.   O  -    o, O  -  o.

To-night, tonight, we will be one.

We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun.
Em7                 |A7            |D    |E
Oh, White Sand, come hold my lonely hand.

VERSE 4:

|E                        |F#m    |
They ne-ver returned from para-dise,
B7 (x21202@1)                            |E
they went to their places in the skies.
       |./.                                    |F#m    |
And the old  ones still say when the snowflakes fly,
B7 (x21202@1)                                  |E    |
if you listen close, you will hear him cry.

CHORUS:

O - o, O - o, O - o.   O  -    o, O  -  o.

We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun.
F#m7 (131141@2)              |B7            |E    |
Oh, White Sand, come hold my lonely hand.
