But the land was already claimed by a people when the cowboy came and when the soldiers came.
The story of the American Indian is in a lot of ways a story of tragedy like that day at Wounded
Knee, South Dakota.
[G] [C]
Bigfoot was an Indian Chief of the Miniconjou band,
[D] [C] [G]
a band of Miniconjou Sioux from South Dakota land.
[C]
Bigfoot said to Custer, stay away from Crazy Horse,
[D] [C] [G]
but Custer crossed into Sioux land, and he never came back across.
[C]
Then Bigfoot led his people to a place called Wounded Knee,
[D] [C] [G]
and they found themselves surrounded by the Seventh Cavalry.

Big Chief Bigfoot, rise up from your bed,
[C] [G] [C] [G]
Miniconjou babies cry for their mothers lyin' dead.
[G] [C]
Bigfoot was down with a fever when he reached Wounded Knee,
[D] [C] [G]
and his people all were prisoners of the Seventh Cavalry.
[C]
Two hundred women and children and another hundred men
[D] [C] [G]
raised up a white flag of peace, but peace did not begin.
[C]
An accidental gunshot, and Bigfoot was first to die,
[D] [C] [G]
and over the noise of the rifles you could hear the babies cry.
[C] [G] [D] [G]
Big Chief Bigfoot, it' s good that you can't see,
[C] [G] [C] [G]
revenge is being wrought by Custer's Seventh Cavalry.
[G] [C]
Then smoke hung over the canyon on that cold December day,
[D] [C] [G]
all was death and dying around where Bigfoot lay.
[C]
Farther on up the canyon some had tried to run and hide,
[D] [C] [G]
but death showed no favourites, women, men and children died.
[C]
One side called it a massacre, the other a victory,
[D] [C] [G]
but the white flag is still waving today at Wounded Knee.
