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