verse 1 
                  F             G 
Look at me, brave Sitting Bull 
                  Am 
In this gondola canoe 
                    F               C 
Bill Cody brings us smoke and meat 
                  E7  Am 
So what are we to do 


verse 2 
                  F 
I came across the water 
     C                 E7   Am 
In a boat no man could row 
                          F 
To play a war in front of strangers 
   G                Am 
In Cody's Wild West Show

Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo 


verse 3 
                       F   
I've seen their Eiffel Tower 
        G                Am 
And the wonders of their world 
                      F 
Saloons where drunken white men 
          C              E7     Am 
Stared at naked, dancing girls 


verse 4 
                                F                C 
And I close my eyes and see the Big Horn valley 
               E7   Am 
Harvest moons ago 
                    F 
That bloody hair of Custer 
     G                   Am 
Hanging from our victory pole 

 
F 
Whoopi-ti,  
                Am 
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo 
F 
Whoopi-ti,  
                Am 
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo

Verse 5 
               F  
See me staring calmly 
     G               Am 
From your magic photograph 
                  F  
In this gondola canoe 
      C              E7     Am 
Am I about to cry or laugh 


Verse 6 
                     F 
My spirit rides with Red Cloud 
      C             E7   Am 
Black Bear and Buffalo 
                       F 
My dreams fly with the heron 
    G                  Am 
The grey crane and the crow 


F 
Whoopi-ti,  
                Am 
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo 
F 
Whoopi-ti,  
                Am 
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo 
F            Am
