F F/E F/D F/C
The good times scratched a laugh from the lungs of a young man
Bb Bbmaj7 C
In a Deadwood saloon South Dakota afternoon
F F/E F/D F/C
And the old ones by the door with their heads to their chests
Bb Bbmaj7 C
They told lies about whiskey on a woman's breast
F F/E F/D F/C
Some tell the story of young Mickey Free
Bb Bbmaj7 C
Lost an eye to a buck deer in the Tongue river valley
F F/E F/D F/C
Some tell the story of California Joe
Bb Bbmaj C
He sent word that the Black Hills they was a mountain of gold
Dm Dm/C Bb
And the gold she lay cold in their pockets
Dm Dm/C Bb
And the sun she sets down on the trees
Dm Dm/C Bb
And they'll thank the Lord for this land that they live in
F Bb Gm C F
Where a white man well he does as he pleases
F F/E F/D F/C
Some flat shoed fool from the east come a running
Bb Bbmaj7 C
With some news that he read in some St Joseph paper
F F/E F/D F/C
And its drinks all around cause the news he's a telling
Bb Bbmaj7 C
Is the one they call crazy has been caught and been dealt with
F F/E F/D F/C

And the Easterner he reads the news from the paper
Bb Bbmaj7 C
And the old ones draw nearer so that they can hear better
F F/E F/D
F/C
Well it says here that Crazy Horse was killed while he was trying to
escape
Bb Bbmaj7 C
Says is was sometime last September and don't give the exact date
Dm Dm/C Bb
And the gold she lay cold in their pockets
Dm Dm/C Bb
And the sun she sets down on the trees
Dm Dm/C Bb
And they'll thank the Lord for this land that they live in
F Bb Gm C F
Where a white man well he does as he pleases
F F/E F/D F/C

Then the talk turned back to whisky and women
Bb Bbmaj7 C
Cold nights on the plains lord fighting the Indians
F F/E F/D F/C
The Easterner says he'll have one more before he goes
Bb Bbmaj7 C
He gives up the paper to the Crow boy sweeps up the floor
Dm Dm/C Bb
And the gold she lay cold in their pockets
Dm Dm/C Bb
And the sun she sets down on the trees
Dm Dm/C Bb
And they'll thank the Lord for this land that they live in
F Bb Gm C F
Where a white man well he does as he pleases
