Verse:
G C G C
So good at doing what you don’t do
G Em C D
Just trying to protect yourself And other fools like you
G C G C
So well practiced in your deceit
G Em C D
Behind the high walls of stupidity, your endless conceit
Behind the locked doors, the sleeping dog you beat
I hope I see the day she satisfies her teeth
Give back to the native the treaty land
what you preach you preachfor others, why don’t you practise that
first hand
Bridge:
Em G Am C
And I just don’t understand this world of mine
Em G Am Bm C D
I must be out of step or out of my mind
And will the profits of destruction forever make your eyes blind
Do you bow to the corporations ’cause they pay their bills on time
God bless Elijah with the feather in his hand
Stop stealing the Indian land
Stop stealing the Indian land
Stop Stealing the Indian land.

Key: A (Capo on 2nd fret. Chords shown for key of G.)
Intro: G
G D
Started out so simple
Em C G
Everything so innocent and plain
G D
She was in a doorway
Em C G
And I was walking nowhere down the main
D
She whispered something softly
C G
And stepped into the light
D
Can you help me out she said
C G
I’m a little lost tonight
G D C G
One day love just hits you with a flash
G D C G
Lights go off around you like some photograph
She said her bags were stolen
All they left her was the camera on her arm
She told me she was new in town
Only two weeks off the farm
Why did I believe her
Heaven only knows
She looked into my eyes
And my resolution goes
One day love just hits you with a flash
Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph
Bridge:
Em D
Pictures of two fools laughing at the world
C G
Smiling as only good luck does
Em D
Truth is you’re not even looking at me girl
Am
All the time I was falling
C
You kept on stalling
Am D
Sizing up how big a fool I was
Woke up in the morning
I don’t think that I had been asleep too long
The room was dark and empty
I could see that all my clothes and money were gone
I’ve run out of excuses
And people I can blame
If she ever asked me too
I’d do it all again
One day love just hits you with a flash
Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph
