DmPinestraw on the ground around aC fallen Cherokee rose Dm
It's got me wonderin' why those Gmighty winds of change must blowDm
Once this land was free from fCences and shotgunsDm
Back when the people killed here for Gfood instead of fun
When the Earth was sanctFified
Cherished in the Gred-man's eyes
Before the Cherokee rD*ose Cadd9
The Cherokee rDmose G
The Cherokee rose

DmMy boots sink down into the Csoft red Georgia clay Dm
Bought with their blood, this land here neverG was ours to take away Dm
Disheartened souls unjustly dCriven from their homes Dm
Many died along the way, now we Gbuild our houses upon their bones
After allF these years
I can see the Gtrail of tears
Damn this Cherokee rD*ose Cadd9
Oh the Cherokee rDmose G
The Cherokee rose
Dm C G*
Oh they Dmcall us the land of the free
And the Chome of the brave
But I doGn't hear much
About the injustice that we've dDmone along the way
We try to Cmblack it out
Never think about
The prCice they had to pay
We never cG*ry for what was lost
Shed a tFear for the heavy cG*ost
Of what we call "fDmreeCdoGm"
DmAll the gold in the world couldn't Cpay the debt we owe Dm
We'll never right those wrongs, but I belieGve we should let them know
DmThat we won't forget and sure as Chell won't justify
DmAnd we'll do our best to keep their mGemories alive
Oh the least that Fwe could do
Is dedicate one lGonesome bloom
Won't ya take this Cherokee DmroseC
Oh the Cherokee rDmose G
The Cherokee rDmose C
The Cherokee RDmose G
The Cherokee Rose Dm
