D A C G(X2)
D A C
A banner year 1864, don't want the red man anymore,
G D
Can't have them taking up good land.
A
Give them a token flag, trade pipes and shake some hands,
C G
Tell them the white stripes stand for peace.
D A
Say if they raise red white and blue,
C
Blue coats will never shoot at you,
G
But stripes will loose their sheen,
D A
Black Kettle was their chief, he only wanted peace,
C G
Under the flag...a massacre at Sand Creek.
A C
Wave your flag. Salivate.
G D
Stirring feelings of pride and hate.
A C D
A peace of cloth can't hold your faith.
G D F
No flag flies, no banner waves,
C
See the empty pole above his empty grave.
G D F
No one knows where he lies,
C
and no one know just why he had to die.
D G
D A C G
A banner year 1868, a bitter end a twist of fate.
D A
Maps won't hold this melanoma,
C
Blurry part of Oklahoma,
G
Where Custer shot and killed Black Kettle.
A C
Wave your flag. Salivate.
G D
Stirring feelings of pride and hate.
A C D
A peace of cloth can't hold your faith.
G D F
No flag flies, no banner waves,
C
See the empty pole above his empty grave.
G D F
No one knows where he lies,
C
and no one know just why he had to die.

A promise is a promise,
G C
A judge of character.
A D A D
His banner over me is love.
