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