    • Verse 1
    As I 
    awoke 
    this 
    evening 

    With 
    the smell 
    of 
    wood smoke 
    cling
    ing 

    Like 
    a gentle 
    cobweb 
    hanging 

    Upon 
    a 
    painted 
    tepee 

    Oh, 
    I 
    went 
    to see 
    my 
    chieftain 

    With 
    my 
    war 
    lance 

    and 
    my 
    woman 

    For he 
    told 
    us that 
    the 

    yellow 
    moon 

    Would very 
    soon 
    be 
    leaving 

    This 
    I 
    can't 
    believe 
    Verse 2
    I 
    said 

    I can't 
    believe 
    our 

    Warlord's dead 

    Oh, 
    he would 
    not 
    leave 
    the 
    chosen 
    ones 

    To the 
    buzzards 
    and the soldiers 
    guns 

    Verse 3
    Oh, 
    great 
    father 
    of 
    the 
    Iroquois 

    Ever 
    since 
    I was 
    young 

    I've 
    read 
    the writing 
    of 
    the smoke 

    And 
    breast-fed 
    on 
    on 
    the sound 
    of drums 

    I've 
    learned 
    to hurl 
    the toma
    hawk 

    And ride 
    a painted 
    pony 
    wild 

    To 
    run 
    the gauntlet 
    of 
    the 
    Sioux 

    To 
    make 
    a chief
    tain's 

    daugh
    ter 
    mine 

    Verse 4
    And 
    now 
    you 
    ask 
    that I 
    should 
    watch 

    The 
    red man's 
    race 
    be 

    slowly 
    crushed 

    What 
    kind 
    of words 
    are these 
    to 
    hear 

    From 
    Yel
    low 
    Dog, 
    whom 
    a 
    white 
    man 
    fears? 

    Interlude 1




    Oh, I take 
    only 
    what 
    is mine, 
    Verse 5
    Lord 

    My 
    pony, 
    my 
    squaw, 

    and my 
    child 

    I can't 
    stay 
    to 
    see 
    you die 

    Along 
    with my 
    tribe's 
    pride 

    I go 
    to search 
    for the 
    yellow 
    moon 

    And the 
    fathers 
    of 
    our 
    son
    s 

    Where the 
    red 
    sun 
    sink
    s 

    in the 
    hills 
    of 
    gold 

    And the 
    healing 
    waters 
    run 

    Verse 6

    Trampling 
    down 
    the 
    prair
    ie rose 

    Leaving 
    hoof 
    tracks 
    in 
    the 
    sand 

    Those 
    who wish 
    to 
    fol
    low 
    me 

    I 
    welcome 
    with 
    my 
    hand
    s 

    I heard 
    from passing 
    renegades 

    Geronimo 
    was 
    dead 

    He'd 
    been 
    laying 
    down 

    his 
    weapon
    s 

    When they 
    filled 
    him 
    full 
    of 
    lead 

    Interlude 2




    Verse 7
    Now there 
    seems 
    no reas
    on 
    why 

    I should 
    carry 
    on 

    In this 
    land 
    that once 
    was 
    my 
    land 

    I can't 
    find 
    a home 

    It's 
    lonely 
    and it's quiet 

    And 
    the horse 
    soldiers 
    are 
    coming 

    And I think 
    it's 
    time 
    I strung 
    my 
    bow 

    And ceased 
    my senseless 
    running 

    For 
    soon 
    I'll find 
    the yel
    low 
    moon 

    Along 
    with my 
    loved 
    ones 

    Where the 
    buffaloes 
    graze 

    in 
    clover 
    fields 

    Without 
    the sound 
    of gun
    s 

    Verse 8
    And the 
    red 
    sun 
    sinks 
    at last 

    In
    to 
    the hills 
    of gold 

    And 
    peace 
    to this 
    young 
    warrior 

    Comes 
    with 
    a bullet 
    hole

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
