(Capo 4th fret.)

#1.
They took the whole Cherokee Nation,
And put us on this reservation.
Took away our way of life.
The tomahawk and the bow and knife.
They took away our native tongue,
taught their English to our young.
And all the beads we made by hand,
are nowadays made in Japan.

CHORUS:
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe..
So proud to live, so proud to die..

#2.
They took the whole Indian Nation,
locked us on this reservation.
Built us houses by the score,
Don’t need tepees anymore.
Though I wear a shirt and tie,
I’m still a red man deep inside.

CHORUS:
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe..
So proud to live, so proud to die..

#3.
Oh, they changed our ways of old..
they want to change out heart and soul.
And maybe someday when they’ve learned,
the Cherokee Nation will return.

CHORUS:
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe..
So proud to live, so proud to die..

#4.
Oh, they changed our ways of old..
they want to change out heart and soul.
And maybe someday when they’ve learned,
the Cherokee Nation will return.
Will return..will return..will return..will return.(Fade)

#1.
Girl you got this need to know what I’m all about.

I can almost taste it..it’s sweet as wine.

#2.
There’s a custom tailored world that I wanna own someday.
With a special place up high where we can stay alone,
you and me.
Girl, I’m gonna have it all someday if you’ll just hang

If I break some rules along the way, girl, you gotta understand.
It’s my way of gettin’ what I want now, ‘cause I’m hungry..

Yes, I’m hungry for those good things, baby..
hungry through and through.

#1.
Now, things was looking golden, baby, everything was fine.
You never made no sign that you had changed your miiii..nd.
I guess I was mistaken, girl, to count so on you.
What else could I do..time to pay my dues..well, girl..

CHORUS:
Well, girl, I’ve been torn up before..but I can’t handle

that once more.
Well, I been down for a long, long time and now it’s time
to reach my mind.
There’s lots of pain upon this earth, girl, I’ve had

my money’s worth.
I have had my ups and downs and all around.

#2.
Girl, I’ve tried to change your way of thinkin’..tried to
make you see.
Well, livin’ here with me is where you ought to beeee.
But it didn’t seem to make no difference..it never changed
your world.
Or stopped your social twirl..you’re still the same old girrrrl..

CHORUS:
And now, I’ve been torn up before..but I can’t handle

that once more.

#1.
Read the news in the Times today, said the world is goin’ round.
(world is goin’ round.)
I don’t care what somebody said, somebody always puts ‘em down.
(always puts ‘em down.)
Red or yellow, black or white..are you left-handed or are you right?
When you open your eyes can you see the light?
Do you wake up screamin’ in the middle of the night?

CHORUS:
Too much talk, and not enough action,
do you know anybody gettin’ satisfaction?
Everbody wonders ‘bout the crowd’s reaction.
And the world gets better by a very small fraction.

#2.
Turn around till you see a face and it won’t be very long..
(won’t be very long.)
someone soon will be in your place and it won’t be very wrong,
(won’t be very wrong.)
Red or yellow, black or white..are you left-handed or are you right?
When you open your eyes can you see the light?
Do you wake up screamin’ in the middle of the night?

CHORUS:
Too much talk, and not enough action,
do you know anybody gettin’ satisfaction?
Everbody wonders ‘bout the crowd’s reaction.
And the world gets better by a very small fraction.

BRIDGE:
Now’s our chance to change the world..
change the world with love, with love.

CHORUS:
Too much talk, and not enough action,
do you know anybody gettin’ satisfaction?
Everbody wonders ‘bout the crowd’s reaction.
And the world gets better by a very small fraction.

OUTRO:
Too much talk, and not enough action,

INTRO: A G A (x4)

#1.
I was down in L.A. Town when our manager said, jump.
I threw my clothes and my saxophone in a two by
four-bit trunk.
I pushed it to the airport, and I ran to the ticket line..
man said, ‘Son, you could have saved the run, those aiplanes

just quit flyin.’

CHORUS:
If I can’t leave here, I just might stay..
and that L.A. flyway is goin’ to be my home.

#2.
I ran through the terminal building to fly by my airline.
The man said I could ride the wing, and I said that was fine.
He said, ‘I’ll confirm your reservation and put the plane on
hold.’
He come back and said, ‘Sorry, but that wing space just been

sold.’

CHORUS:
If I can’t leave here, I just might stay..
and that L.A. flyway is goin’ to be my home.
#3.
I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire..
threw on lots of paper and the flames kept gettin’ higher.
The janitor come runnin’ in, so scared his face was white..
so, I explained my situation, he said, ‘That’s all right.’

CHORUS:
If I can’t leave here, I just might stay..
and that L.A. flyway is goin’ to be my home.

#4.
Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed
my things again.
I waited fourteen hours for a taxi to come in.
I spotted one that wasn’t full, and I threw myself in fast.
The driver said, ‘I’m sorry, but this taxi’s out of gas!’

CHORUS:
If I can’t leave here, I just might stay..
and that L.A. flyway is goin’ to be my home.
