Ballad Of Ira Hayes
Tabbed by Milos Protic
Capo on the 2nd fret
Verce
Come gDather 'round me, people, there's a stGory I would tell
About a bA7rave young Indian, you shouGld remember weDll;
Frome the Dland of the Pima Indians, a pGroud and noble band,
A7Who farmed the Phoenix Valley in AGrizona lDand.
Down their ditches for a thousand years the aparkling weater rushed
Till the white man stole their water rights and their sparklin' water hushed
Now Ira's folks were hungry and their land grew crops of weeds
When war came Ira volunteered and forgot the white man's greed.
Chorus
Call him drDunken Ira Hayes, He won't answer anGymore;
Not the whA7iskey drinkin' indian, not the maGrine that went to wDar.
