Took away our ways of life,

Am
Took away our native tongue,

and taught their English to our young
Am
And all the beads we made by hand,
Em
are nowadays made in Japan
Em Bm
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
Em B7
So proud to live, so proud to die
Em Am
They took the whole Indian nation,
Em
locked us on this reservation
Am
Though I wear a shirt and tie,
Em
I'm still part red man deep inside
Em Bm
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
Em B7
So proud to live, so proud to die
Em Am
But maybe someday when they've learned,
Em Am Em
Cherokee nation will return, will return,
Am Em Am Em Am Em
will return, will return, will return
