This is a beautiful song by Robbie Robertson which however is not available on UG.

[Intro]
Gm Cm Gm Cm
[Verse 1]
GmCrow has brought the mCmessage
GmTo the children of the Cmsun
GmFor the return of the bCmuffalo
GmAnd for a better day to Cmcome
GmYou can kill my bCmody
BbYou can damn my sFoul
GmFor not believing in your Cmgod
GmAnd some world down bCmelow
[Chorus]
EbYou don't stand a cBbhance aCgainst my pFrayers
EbYou don't stand a cBbhance aCgainst my lFove
GmThey outlawed the GChost Dance
FBut we shall live aBbgain,Cm Fwe shall live aBbgain Cm
[Verse 2]
GmMy sister aCmbove
GmShe has red pCmaint
GmShe died at Wounded CmKnee
GmLike a later dCmay saint
GmYou got the big drum in the Cmdistance
BbThe blackbird's in the Fsky
GmThat's the sound that you hCmear
GmWhen the buffalo cCmry
[Chorus]
EbYou don't stand a cBbhance Cagainst my Fprayers
EbYou don't stand a cBbhance Cagainst my Flove
GmThey outlawed the GChost Dance
FBut we shall live aBbgain,Cm Fwe shall live aBbgain Cm
[Bridge]
GmCrazy Horse was a mCmystic
GmHe knew the secret of the Cmtrance
GmAnd Sitting Bull the great Cmapostle
Of the GmGhost Dance
[Chorus]
CmCome on CoBbmanche
CmCome on BlaGmckfoot
CmCome on ShoBbshone
CmCome on ChGmeyenne
CmCome on ArGmapaho
EbYou don't stand a cBbhance, come on Cherokee, aCgainst my pFrayers, come on Paiute
EbYou don't stand a cBbhance, come on Sioux, aCgainst my lFove, come on Comanche
EbYou don't stand a cBbhance, come on Blackfoot, aCgainst my lFove, come on Shoshone
