Tune your lower E-snare down to D for playing this
D and E mean d and e chords in 0 and II position
d and e mean D and E chords in V and VII position
riff no.1
git.:
bass transcribed into guitar:
repeat this while singing:
We welcomed them as brothers, noing nothing of their greed
born hunters not the hunted, as the white man hunts for me
We are descendants of the animals, we live among them free
Our trail of tears would end
one day at Wounded Knee
CHORUS:
great spirit,
thunderbirds fly
We are wild and free
To fight and die
by the open sky,
Spirit horse, ride for me
Wha-a-o wha-a-o wha-a-o aaaow|
Wha-a-o wha-a-o wha-a-o aaaow|^
now play again the first piece, but with other lyrics
When we do the Ghost Dance, the buffalo will return[
Paint ourselves for war, now blood and fire burn
Great Spirit make us strong, take us to the sky
The Cherokee are brave,
we are not afraid to die
now repeat the CHORUS
Whrooaaa Red Cloud
Black Hawk, Sitting Bull
Crazy Horse, Geronimo
Strong and brave
Warriors to the grave
only drums by this part:
Whoaow Whoaow whao-whao-whaoaa
Auwa-auwa-auwa awa-awa-awa
or something like that;)
There has been much killing
There will be much more
The Medicine Man is dancing,
he's calling us to war.
Hatchets sing with pride,
let the white man die!
Repeat chorus 4x, but without the screaming part
(from now, don't look at the timing in the tab's)
now play the screaming part, but then with
then play:
repeat this
And that's it.
