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^Тt 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^Тt 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

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