[Intro]
E*
[Verse 1]
My Em*name is Sequoyah, like the giant tree
Pure sunlight, air and water, Em/Athis is Em/Gall I nEm*eed.

me and the Indian people, we Em/Asee how Em/Gwe've been Em*blessed Em*

EmOh poor white man, yDou don't understEmand,
Words on paper don't Amake you own this lEm*and" Em*
[Verse 2]
Em*Every day I watch the sky, the wind and rain and sun
Every living creature, the Em/Aseasons Em/Gone by Em*one.
I sEm*mile to see such beauty, I know that I am loved
Earth feeds me with her bounty, I've lEm/Aearnd to sEm/Gpeak her toEm*unge. Em*
[Chorus]
EmOh poor white man, yDou don't understEmand,
Words on paper don't Amake you own this lEm*and" Em*

You Em*want to build great houses, and brag of all you own.
You want to be immortal, but Em/Ayou are fEm/Glesh and bEm*one.
If Em*I could learn to write my heart, in words from a to z
I'd show them to you brother, and Em/Amaybe Em/Gthen you'd Em*see. Em*

Em*Draw your strenght from mother earth, live gently on her breast.
Give thanks with all her people, Em/Asee how Em/Gwe've been bEm*lessed.
