The Ballad of Ira Hayes

G                              C     /b     Am
Gather round me, people, and a story I will tell
D                          G
About a brave young Indian you should remember well
                                  C           /b       Am
From the tribe of Pima Indians, a proud and a peaceful band,
     D                            G
They farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land.

Down their ditches for a thousand years the sparkling water rushed,
Till the white man stole their water rights and the running water hushed.
