E                                   A            E
From the Indian reservation to the governmental school
E              A           E              B7 
Well, they're goin' to educate me to the white men's Golden Rule
         E                              A              E
And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed
       A                   E                B7             E
And I come when they call Billy though I've got an Indian name
CHORUS:
E                                               A                    E
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
           A                  E                   B7            E
There are drums beyond the mountain And they're getting mighty near

E                                          A                         E
And when they think that they'd changed me Cut my hair to meet their needs
                 A            E                    B7
Will they think, I'm white or Indian Quarter blood or just half breed
            E                         A                   E
Let me tell you, Mr. Teacher When you say, you'll make me right
        A                  E              B7            E
In five hundred years of fighting Not one Indian turned white   CHORUS:

E                                              A                  E
Well, you thought that I knew nothing When you brought me here to school
     A             E           B7 
Just another empty Indian Just America's first fool
          E                             A                   E
But now I can tell you stories That are burnt and dried and old
           A               E                 B7                E
But in the shadow of their telling walks The thunder proud and bold     

E                                   A           E                   A
Long Pine and Sequoia Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull There's Magnus Colorado
         E                  B7
With his sleeves so red and full Crazy Horse, the legend
              E                          A                  E
Those who bit off Custer's soul They are dead yet they are living
         B7           E
With the great Geronimo     CHORUS:
E                                                 A                E
Well, you may teach me this land's history But we taught it to you first
              A          E                         B7
We broke your hearts and bent your journeys Broken treaties left us cursed
     E                             A                  E
Even now you have to cheat us Even though you this us tame
       A                     E
In our losing we found proud ness
        B7                E      CHORUS:
In your winning you found shame
