Geronimos Cadillac chords - Hoyt Axton

Hoyt Axton Lyrics





The band and I have got this one pretty much figured out except for possibly
the intro.  Anyway here it is, and as always comments are appreciated.

Geronimo's Cadillac
Hoyt Axton
From the album Life Machine - A&M Records 1974


Intro: [A]   [B7]   [E] 

[E]Hey, [B7]boys [A]take me back I wanna [A]ride in Geronimo's [E]Cadillac.
[E]Hey, [B7]boys [A]take me back I wanna [A]ride in Geronimo's [E]Cadillac.

[E]Took Geronimo way down south where he [A]couldn't look the gift horse [E]in the mouth. 
[E]Sergeant, Sergeant can't you [A]feel something's wrong with your [E]automobile.
[E]Warden, Warden listen to me be [A]brave and set [E]Geronimo free.
[E]Governor, Governor, isn't it strange you [A]never see your car on the [E]Indian range.

[E]Hey, [B7]boys [A]take me back I wanna [A]ride in Geronimo's [E]Cadillac.
[E]Hey, [B7]boys [A]take me back I wanna [A]ride in Geronimo's [E]Cadillac.

[E]People, people didn't you know, [A]prisoners ain't got no [E]place to go.
[E]Took ol' Geronimo by[A] storm, took all his feathers on his [E]uniform.
