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
