[Verse 1]
Am
Now lay me down on market street

F5               C5                 D5                  E5
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beans
F5                       C5
The local chief's on the radio
              D5
He's got some hungry mouths to feed

Am
Lay me back down here on the highway
Am
One hundred and one ways to go
Am
Solitary is so confinin'
Am
To the legend of Geronimo
 F5               C5
Oh I know I could bring the rain
        D5          E5
Used to dance for ABC
F5                         C5
And all the braves down on death row
       D5
Are pretending to be free
E5 N.C.              Am
Back home in Alcatraz
 
 
[Bridge]
E5
In the land of the great white father
E5
My American blood runs cold
E5
I left my home in Oklahoma
                       A5
To the Everglades I go
E5
It's just the wings on the silver cars
                                A5
And I'm allowed to plow a field
E5
It's not the life for a nineteen seventy
            N.C.
(What's an) Indian boy to do
E5 N.C.               Am
Goin' back to Alcatraz
