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