Lyrics
They took the whole
Cherokee (Am)Nation,
(Am)put us on this (Em)reservation.
(Em)Took away our way of (Am)life,
(Am)tomahawk and the bow and (Em)knife.
(Em)Took away our native (Am)tongue,
(Am)taught their English to our (Em)young.
(Em)And all the beads we made by (Am)hand are nowadays made in (Em)Japan.
(Am)Cherokee (Em)people, Cherokee tribe,
(Am)so proud you lived,
(B7)so proud you died.
(Em)They took the whole
Indian (Am)Nation, locked us on this (Em)reservation.
Though I wear a shirt and (Am)tie,
I'm still a red man deep (Em)inside.
(Em)But maybe someday when they've (Am)learned,
(Am)Cherokee Nation will (Em)return.
(Em)They took the whole
Cherokee (Am)Nation,
(Am)put us on this (Em)reservation.
(Em)Took away our way of (Am)life,
(Am)tomahawk and the bow and (Em)knife.
(Em)Took away our native (Am)tongue,
(Am)taught their English to our (Em)young.
(Em)And all the beads we made by (Am)hand are nowadays made in (Em)Japan.
(Am)Cherokee people, (Em)Cherokee tribe,
(Am)so proud you lived,
(B7)so proud you died.
(Em)They took the whole
Indian (Am)Nation,
(Am)locked us on this (Em)reservation.
(Em)Though I wear a shirt and (Am)tie,
I'm still a red man deep (Em)inside.
(Em)But maybe someday when they've (Am)learned,
(Am)Cherokee Nation will (Em)return.
