[Chorus]
COh, the wind blows cGold
DOn the trail of the bEmuffalo
COh, the wind blows cGold
DIn the land of the NEmavajo
DIn the land of the NaEmvajo
[Verse 1&2]
GA hundred miles from nowhere Cout on the desert sand
DOne-eyed Jack, the trader, held some torquoise in his hGand
GBy his side sat Running Elk, his lCong-time Indian friend
DHe vowed that he would stay by Jack until the bitter Gend
GJack had gambled everything he owned to leCad this wandering life
DHe might have had a happy home and a tender loving wGife
GBut his hunger was for trading trapper's fCurs for torquoise stone
DAnything that the Indians had, Jack wanted for his oGwn
[Chorus]
COh, the wind blows cGold
DOn the trail of the Embuffalo
COh, the wind blows cGold
DIn the land of the NEmavajo
DIn the land of the NEmavajo
[Verse 3&4]
GSaid Jack to Running Elk, I'll gamble aCll my precious stones
DBefore I leave my body here among these bleaching bGones
G mmmm C
But now my time is drawing near and I'm filled with dark regret
MDy spirit longs to journey as the sun begins to Gset
GFor we raped and killed, we stole your land, we rCuled with guns and knives
DFed whiskey to your warriors while we stole away your wGives
GSaid Running Elk, what's done is done, you wChite men rule this land
DSo lay the cards face up and play your last broken-hearted hGand
(Chorus)
COh, the wind blows cGold
DOn the trail of the Embuffalo
COh, the wind blows cGold
DIn the land of the NEmavajo
DIn the land of the NEmavajo

[Verse 5&6]
GWhen you're dealing cards with death, the joker's wild, the aCce is high
DJack bid the Mississippi River, Running Elk raised him the sGky
GJack saw him with the sun and moon and uCpped him with the stars
DRunning Elk bet the Rocky Mountains, Jupiter, and MGars
GThe sun was sinking in the west when Jack dCrew the ace of spades
DRunning Elk just rolled his eyes, he smiled and passed aGway
GJack picked up his torquoise stones and cCast them to the sky
DHe stared into the setting sun and then made a mournful cGry
(Chorus)
COh, the wind blows cGold
DOn the trail of the bEmuffalo
COh, the wind blows cGold
