Verse
Am
In the back of the heart of blue earth county
F C
Many, many years ago
G
I stood in the cold next to my mother
F Am
And 38 men blindfold
Am F C
As the natives took their place, singing their death song
G
The prison Chaplain called their names
F Am
But he got one of their names wrong
[Chorus]
F
I----I've been
C
Fi----ighting
G
With this notion that the world does
Am
B good man well
F
I see it all around me
C
B man does hateful things
G
And he still walking around, you see
Am
While the good one's gone
[Verse 2]
Am
Some say that there was no mistake
F C
Some say they wanted that man to be hung
G
For falling in love with a white woman
F Am
And caring for her infant son
Am
When he was first captured, she cried;
F C
"Don't take him, you don't know!"
G
If not for him, my bones will be bleach'en on the prairie
F C
My children, with little crow
[Chorus]
F
I----I've been
C
Fi----ighting
G
With this notion that the world does
Am
B good man well
F
I see it all around me
C
B man does hateful things
G
And he still walking around, you see
Am
While the good one's gone
[Verse 3]
Am
As the moment came and the ropes all placed
F C
And the drums they quieted the crowd
G
The men wailed and danced on a trap door gallows
F Am
And yelled each other's names so loud
Am
And when they heard their name they yelled;
F C
"I'm here, I'm here!"
G
And they yelled out their fellow men's name
Am
For the heavens to hear
[Bridge]
F C
And the clergyman spoke on
F C Am
About Christ and how he di---ied
G
And the axe was lifted hi---igh
[Instrumental]
Am F C
G F Am
2x
[Chorus]
F
I----I've been
C
Fi----ighting
G
With this notion that the world does
Am
B good man well
F
I see it all around me
C
B man does hateful things
G
And he still walking around, you see
Am
While the good one's gone
