  D-Em-C-G

  D-Em-C-G

  

  D	Em	C		G

  Gun squads got whatever they wanted

  D	Em	C	G

  On Pine Ridge

  G	G/B	C		D

  Dickie Wilson the only law and order

  	G  G/F#  Em		C	D

  Sat back and watched while over 100 were murdered

  	Em	Bm	C		D

  He'd made his bed with the government man

  	C  C/B  Am		 		D	

  Taking everything he could for himself, his family and

  G	G/B	C	D

  friends

  

  

  	G		G/B	C		D 

  And he didn't want those longhairs on his reservation

  	G  G/F#  Em			C		D 

  They were always causing trouble and instigating

  Em		Bm	C		D

  So he waged his war of intimidation

  	C  C/B  Am	D		G	G/B	C	D

  On his poverty stricken reservation

  

  

  	G	G/B		C		D 

  >From ??wounded knees?? to the ??longest walks??

  	G  G/F#  Em		C		D 

  While the government destroys what won^Òt be bought

  	Em		Bm		C		D

  When the whites first came to the Black Hills for the gold

  	C  C/B  Am		D		G

  Now the corporations steal the uranium and coal

  

  

  D		Em		C		G

  They destroyed the land and the traditional ways

  D			Em			C		G

  And you can^Òt drink the water, you better not stand in the way

  D	Em	C	G

  On Pine Ridge

  D	Em	C	G

  On Pine Ridge

  

  

  Em	C	D	G  G/F#

  This is a song of freedom

  Em		C		D		G  G/F#

  While the eagle soars in the endless blue sky

  Em	C	D		G  G/F#

  For the innocent, wrongly imprisoned

  Em		C	D	

  This is a song of freedom

  

  G	G/B	C	D

  G	G/B	C	D

  

  Em	Em	Em	Em

  

  C7		

  The government man hate the color of your skin and your ?dogshined? 

  	Em

  reservation

  C7								Em

  No reasons why those two FBI were on Oglala land chasing that red van

  C7

  And the FBI admit Leonard Peltier did not commit the killings that have

  kept 

  		Em

  him 20 years in prison

  

  C7	Em

  

  G	D	Em	C

  This is a song of freedom

  

  Em

  

  C7									Em

  No explanations why those two FBI were on Oglala land chasing that red

  van

  C7

  Well maybe because Dickie Wilson was in Washington selling uranium to

  the 

  		Em

  American nightmare

  

  

  	G		F		Bb		C

  As the people striving 2 FBI were lying dead in a pasture

  G		F

  Williams and Collier

  C7

  Caught in a crossfire

  

  G7

  

  G7

  Dino Butler and ??Bob Roberdobo?? got tried and acquitted

  G7

  And the case against Jimmy Eagle was so weak it never got prosecuted

  C7

  So they set their sights on the last chance of a conviction

  	Eb7				D7

  with a ??record?? eye-witness and a legal extradition

  C7

  Leonard Peltier had fled across the border to southern Alberta

  G				F

  The Canadian government was far too eager

  	Bb			C7

  And in awe of their elected copkiller

  

  

  	G		G/B		C		D

  There's a few that know the truth this morning in Oglala 

  		G  G/F#  Em			C		D

  They^Òre as silent as the land, as silent as Williams and Collier

  	Em		Bm		C		D

  They^Òre as silent as the eagle in the endless blue sky

  	C  C/B  Am			D			G

  They^Òre as silent as the sun, she's been watching such a long time

  

  	D		Em		C		G

  Cause it^Òs a sacred mind of ???? that's brought to the ?????

  	D	Em	C		G

  Leonard Peltier's rule divided the land

  	D	Em	C		G

  And the soldiers came to protect their own

  	D		Em		C		G

  With the promises of peace and the land that they stole

  	D		Em	C		G

  And they murdered Crazy Horse killed off the buffalo

  	D		Em	C		G

  Since yesterday and today and all of tomorrow

  		D	Em		C		G

  There^Òs a silence in the land, there^Òs a sadness in the people

  	D	Em		C		G

  But life goes on, it's the same as it's always done

  D	Em	C	G

  On Pine Ridge

  D	Em	C	G

  On Pine Ridge

  This is a song of freedom

  Em		C		D		G  G/F#

  While the eagle soars in the endless blue sky

  Em	C		D		G  G/F#

  For the innocent, wrongly imprisoned

  Em		C	D	

  This is a song of freedom
