Yellow Creek

Bm

D
Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters
G Bm
Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee
D Bm
Then came those pioneer settlers that drove those Indians westward
D G Bm
Far from their home down on Yellow Creek
D
Now it's many years later and I'm living in the nature
G Bm
Of this Indian paradise called Tennessee
D Bm
Where I find those broken arrows that flew like the sparrows
D G Bm
The sparrows that still fly down on Yellow Creek

G D
Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters
G Bm
Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee
G D Bm
Through the blood-stained years they walk the Trail of Tears
D G Bm
Crying for their home down on Yellow Creek

Key Change to E

E
Sometimes my wife and babies think I'm going crazy
A C#m
When I talk about the things I see and hear when they're asleep
E C#m
Like those Indian children playing, singing and a-saying
E A C#m
This is their home down on Yellow Creek

A E
Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters
A C#m
Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee
A E C#m
Through the blood-stained years they walk the Trail of Tears
E A C#m
Crying for their home down on Yellow Creek

A E
Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters
A C#m
Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee
A E C#m
Through the blood-stained years they walk the Trail of Tears
E A C#m
Crying for their home down on Yellow Creek.
