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