Verse
F# C# F# B
From the land of shooting waters to the peaks of the Coeur d'Alêne
C# F# C#
Thimbleberries in the forest, elk grazing on the plain
F# C# F# B
The People of the Coyote made their camp along the streams
B F# B C# F#
Of the green Wallowa Valley when fences had no name
C# B F#
And they bred a strain of horses, the treasure of the tribe
C# B C#
Who could toe-dance on a ridge or gallop up a mountainside
F# C# B F#
Who could haul the hunter's burden, turn a buffalo stampede
B F# B C# F#
The horse that wore the spotted coat was born with matchless speed
[Chorus]

But the heart of the Appaloosa never died
[Verse 2]
F# C# F# B
In the winter came the crowned ones near frozen in the cold
C# F# C#
Bringing firearms and spyglasses and a book that saves the soul
F# C# F# B
The people gave them welcome, nursed them till their strength returned
B F# B C# F#
And studied the talking paper, its mysteries to learn
C# B F#
In the shadow of the mission sprang up farms and squatter towns
C# B C#
The plain was lined with fences, the plow blade split the ground
C# F# B F#
In the shallows of the Clearwater gold glittered in the pan
B F# B C# F#
And the word would come from Washington: remove the Indian
[Chorus]

Thunder Rolling in the Mountains
B C# C# B
Lead the People across the Great Divide
F# B F#
There's blood on the snow in the hills of Idaho

"I am no more Chief Joseph. Rolling Thunder is my name.

They condemn us to a wasteland of barren soil and stone
B F# B C# F#
We shall fight them if we must, but we will find another home."
C# B F#
They fled into the Bitterroot, an army at their heels
C# B C#
They fought at White Bird Canyon, they fought at Misery Hill
C# F# B F#
Till the colonel saw his strategy and sent the order down
B F# B C# F#
To kill the Appaloosa wherever it be found
[Chorus]

Twelve hundred miles retreating, three times over the Divide
C# F# C#
The horse their only safety, their only ally
F# C# F# B
Three thousand Appaloosa perished with the tribe
B F# B C# F#
The people and the horses died side by side

Thunder Rolling in the Mountains said, "my heart is sick and sad.
C# B C#
Our children now are freezing. The old chiefs are dead.
C# F# B F#
The hunger take our spirit. Our wounds are deep and sore.
B F# B C# F#
From where the sun now stands I shall fight no more."

Listening for thunder, the Appaloosa's living still
