  			      C                  		      G7          
There once was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow Hand  
 						      C 
He fell in love with the maiden known as White Sand. 
 							G7  
They vowed their love would last forever more  
                                       C  
then came the day that they had waited for  
 
Yellow Hand brought her a golden feather  
White Sands said a prayer for good weather  
The ceremonial dance grew loud and strong  
Then Yellow Hand began their wedding song.  
 
Chorus: 
C      G7       C  
Oooooooooh Oooh Ooooh  
F                        C 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh  
  G7                        
Tonight, tonight, we will be one.  
      C       
We?ll walk in the land of the midnight sun  
G7                                  C     D 
Oh, White Sand, come hold my lonely hand.  
 
          D                              A7   
Then they left the warmth of the wedding fire,  
                              D 
rode into the hills, climbing higher  
And suddenly the snow came swirling down  
they were lost, the trail could not be found.  
 
Chorus w\ chords D A7 G D .  
  
     E                       B7 
They never returned from paradise  
                                 E 
they went to their places in the skies.  
And the old ones still say when the snowflakes fly  
if you listen close, you will hear him cry.  
 
Chorus w\ chords E B7 A E
