Intro: 
         Em D G C Em D Em C G D Em 
 
 
Em                    B 
  They lived in peace   not long ago 
Em                B 
  a mighty Indian tribe 
C                    C Em     D             G 
  but the winds of change   have made them realize 
              Am          D 
  that the promises were lies 
Em                      B 
  The white man's greed   in search of gold 
Em                  B 
  made the nation bleed 
C                       C  Em       D               G 
  They had lost their faith    and now they had to learn 
            Am             Bm    C                  D 
  there was no place to return   nowhere they could turn 
 
           Em D G C               Em        D      Em C G D 
  Cherokee        marching on the trail of tears 
           Em D G C               Em        D      Em C G D     Em 
  Cherokee        marching on the trail of tears 
 
 
 
 
verse 2: 
 
They were driven hard across the plains 
And walked for many moons 
'Cause the winds of change 
Had made them realize that the promises were lies 
 
So much to bear, all that pain 
Left them in despair.
