White Girl
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:A
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E A
[Verse 1]
A E
I am stunned and I am broken and my head is in my hand
E D A
For she who said she love me will not wed an Indian man
A E
My Gods who were wild ridden stand quiet by my side
E D A
For although I loved her she would not be my bride
[Chorus]
A E
Oh goodbye softly sweet one it was splendid while it ran
E D A
Goodbye, my bitter white girl, I'll forget you if I can
[Verse 2]
A E
She came up to the pueblo with her bright blonde hair
E D A
They told me not to love her but I did not care
A E
She took me to her parties, she carried me around
E D A
And I was a proud one, the tallest man in town
A E
For I found great wonder all wrapped in brilliant dreams
E D A
I held her strong but gentle as kings have held their queens
A E
I learned to drink strong whiskey as she took me here and there
E D A
Until life without my whiskey, I could not bear
[Chorus]
A E
Oh goodbye softly sweet one it was splendid while it ran
E D A
Goodbye, my bitter white girl, I'll forget you if I can
[Instrumental]
A E A G
[Verse 3]
G D
Well when she came to leave me she took me by the arm
D C G
And she said she loved me and would not do me harm
G D
But she would not marry not an Indian she said
D C G
She thanked me for my offer and I wished that I was dead
G D
Now I'm back among my people and they are kind to me
D C G
Although I'm sad with staggers when I drink that tough whiskey
G D
For I've been a white girl's pet, a captive Indian
D C G
Shown off and discarded just a drunk who might have been
[Chorus]
G D
Oh goodbye softly sweet one it was splendid while it ran
D C G
Goodbye, my bitter white girl, I'll forget you if I can
G D
Goodbye, my softly sweet one it was splendid while it ran
D C G
Goodbye, my bitter white girl, I'll forget you if I can
