Ballad Of Ira Hayes
Tabbed by Milos Protic
Capo on the 2nd fret
Verce
Come gCather 'round me, people, there's a stCory I would tell
About a bD7rave young Indian, you shouCld remember weCll;
Frome the Cland of the Pima Indians, a pCroud and noble band,
D7Who farmed the Phoenix Valley in ACrizona lCand.
Down their ditches for a thousand years the aparkling weater rushed
Till the white man stole their water rights and their sparklin' water hushed
Now Ira's folks were hungry and their land grew crops of weeds
When war came Ira volunteered and forgot the white man's greed.
Chorus
Call him drCunken Ira Hayes, He won't answer anCymore;
Not the whD7iskey drinkin' indian, not the maCrine that went to wCar.
