Verse
G# D# G# C#
From the land of shooting waters to the peaks of the Coeur d'Alêne
D# G# D#
Thimbleberries in the forest, elk grazing on the plain
G# D# G# C#
The People of the Coyote made their camp along the streams
C# G# C# D# G#
Of the green Wallowa Valley when fences had no name
D# C# G#
And they bred a strain of horses, the treasure of the tribe
D# C# D#
Who could toe-dance on a ridge or gallop up a mountainside
G# D# C# G#
Who could haul the hunter's burden, turn a buffalo stampede
C# G# C# D# G#
The horse that wore the spotted coat was born with matchless speed
[Chorus]
Cm D#
C# G#
Thunder Rolling in the Mountains
C# D# D# C#
Lead the People across the Great Divide
G# C# G#
There's blood on the snow in the hills of Idaho
C# D# G# G# C# C# A#m Fm D# x2
But the heart of the Appaloosa never died
[Verse 2]
G# D# G# C#
In the winter came the crowned ones near frozen in the cold
D# G# D#
Bringing firearms and spyglasses and a book that saves the soul
G# D# G# C#
The people gave them welcome, nursed them till their strength returned
C# G# C# D# G#
And studied the talking paper, its mysteries to learn
D# C# G#
In the shadow of the mission sprang up farms and squatter towns
D# C# D#
The plain was lined with fences, the plow blade split the ground
D# G# C# G#
In the shallows of the Clearwater gold glittered in the pan
C# G# C# D# G#
And the word would come from Washington: remove the Indian
[Chorus]
Cm D#
C# G#
Thunder Rolling in the Mountains
C# D# D# C#
Lead the People across the Great Divide
G# C# G#
There's blood on the snow in the hills of Idaho
C# D# G# G# C# C# A#m Fm D#
But the heart of the Appaloosa never died
[Verse 3]
G# D# G# C#
The chief spoke to the People in his anger and his pain
D# G# D#
"I am no more Chief Joseph. Rolling Thunder is my name.
G# D# G# C#
They condemn us to a wasteland of barren soil and stone
C# G# C# D# G#
We shall fight them if we must, but we will find another home."
D# C# G#
They fled into the Bitterroot, an army at their heels
D# C# D#
They fought at White Bird Canyon, they fought at Misery Hill
D# G# C# G#
Till the colonel saw his strategy and sent the order down
C# G# C# D# G#
To kill the Appaloosa wherever it be found
[Chorus]
Cm D#
C# G#
Thunder Rolling in the Mountains
C# D# D# C#
Lead the People across the Great Divide

There's blood on the snow in the hills of Idaho
C# D# G# G# C# C# A#m Fm D#
But the heart of the Appaloosa never died
[Verse 4]
G# D# G# C#
Twelve hundred miles retreating, three times over the Divide
D# G# D#
The horse their only safety, their only ally
G# D# G# C#
Three thousand Appaloosa perished with the tribe
C# G# C# D# G#
The people and the horses died side by side
D# C# G#
Thunder Rolling in the Mountains said, "my heart is sick and sad.
D# C# D#
Our children now are freezing. The old chiefs are dead.
D# G# C# G#
The hunger take our spirit. Our wounds are deep and sore.
C# G# C# D# G#
From where the sun now stands I shall fight no more."
[Chorus]

Thunder Rolling in the Mountains
C# D# D# C#
Lead the People across the Great Divide

There's blood on the snow in the hills of Idaho

But the heart of the Appaloosa never died
[Break Strain]
G# D# G# C#
They were sent to Oklahoma, malaria ran rife
D# G# D#
But more died of broken hearts far from the land that gave them life
G# D# G# C#
And the man once called Joseph at death was heard to say
C# G# C# D# G#
"We have given up our horses. They have gone away."
D* C# G#
But sometimes without warning from a dull domestic herd
D* C# D#
A# spotted horse of spirit wondrous will emerge
D* G# C# G#
Strong it is and fearless and nimble on a hill
C#* G* C D# G#
Listening for thunder, the Appaloosa's living still
[Chorus]
Cm D#
C# G#
Thunder Rolling in the Mountains
C# D# D# C#
Lead the People across the Great Divide
G# C# G#
There's blood on the snow in the hills of Idaho
C# D# G# G# C# C# A#m Fm D#
But the heart of the Appaloosa never died
