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