Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo

        G                       Em
No more  beautiful moons may we  spend on our lands
       C                  D                     G         D
In the  north the scarlet  councils talks of  war  
        G                               Em
And the  long knives have massacred the  tribe and burned
corn
          C               D                G
We?re not  welcome in our  homeland any  more
 
                C      D      G
There will be a  trail  of  tears
                C      D      Em           Em/G
There will be a  trail  of  pain  
                  C                  G                C
And  Jackson will  have the Missisis  ippi and the  twenty
       G
dollar  bill
        C                D                    G
But for  us the trail is  all that will re  main
 
 
        G                            Em
No more  songs of the hunters on the  buffalo plain
        C                  D                     G           D
No more  smoke from sacred  fires touch these  hills  
        G                                Em
And the  numbers of the people will grow  fewer every mile
        C                  D                           G
And our  children will not  learn the Great Spirits  way
 
 
                C      D      G
There will be a  trail  of  tears
                C      D      Em           Em/G
There will be a  trail  of  pain  
                  C                  G                C
And  Jackson will  have the Missisis  ippi and the  twenty
       G
dollar  bill
        C                D                    G
But for  us the trail is  all that will re  main
 
 
       G                             Em
On the  streets of Rapid City on the  road to Wounded Knee
         C                D                 G          D
There is  whiskey for for  getting every  thing  
 
But the  old ones say there may be time from  learning from
each other
    C                 D                     G
The  way that it had  once been meant to  be
 
                C      D      G
There will be a  trail  of  tears
                C      D      Em           Em/G
There will be a  trail  of  pain 
                  C                  G                C
And  Jackson will  have the Missisis  ippi and the  twenty
       G
dollar  bill
        C                D                    G
