Capo where needed.
[Verse 1]
GCG
From the Indian reservation to the governmental school
CGD7G
Well they're goin' to educate me to the white men's Golden Rule
GCG
And I am learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed
CGD7G
And I come when they call "Billy" though I've got an Indian name
[Chorus]
GC
And there are Drums beyond the Mountain There are Drums that you
G
cannnot hear
CGD7
There are Drums beyond the Mountain and they're getting mighty
G
near
[Verse 2]
GC
And when they thought that they had changed me cut my hair to
G
meet their needs
CGD7G
Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter Blood or just half breed
GCG
Let me tell you Mr teacher when you say you'll make me right
CGD7G
In five hundred years of fighting not one Indian turned white
[Chorus]
GC
And there are Drums beyond the Mountain There are Drums that you
G
cannnot hear
CGD7
There are Drums beyond the Mountain and they're getting mighty
G
near
[Verse 3]
GC
Well you thought that I knew nothing when you brought me here to
G
your school
CGD7G
Just another empty Indian just America's first fool
GCG
But now I can tell you stories that are burnt and dried and old
CGD7G
But in the shadow of their telling walks the Thunder proud and bold
[Chorus]
GC
And there are Drums beyond the Mountain There are Drums that you
G
cannnot hear
CGD7
There are Drums beyond the Mountain and they're getting mighty
G
near
[Verse 4]
GCG
Long Pine and Sequoia Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull
CGD7G
There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full
GCG
Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off custer's Soul
CGD7G
They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo
[Chorus]
GC
And there are Drums beyond the Mountain There are Drums that you
G
cannnot hear
CGD7
There are Drums beyond the Mountain and they're getting mighty
G
near
[Verse 5]
GCG
Well you may teach me this land's hist'ry but we taught it to you first
CGD7
We broke your Hearts and bent your journeys broken treaties left us
G
cursed
GCG
Even now you have to cheat us even though you think us tame
CGD7G
In our losing we found proudness in your winning you found shame
[Chorus]
GC
And there are Drums beyond the Mountain There are Drums that you
G
cannnot hear
CGD7
There are Drums beyond the Mountain and they're getting mighty
G
near
