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