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