[Verse 1]
[G]A b[F]ann[G]er[Em][Eb][D]
[C]year [G]1864, don't
like the red man anymore,
can't have them [Cm]taking up
[C]good [Am]land.[G] Give [C]them[Am] a[G]
[C]token [D]flag, [B]trade pipes and
[Em]shake some hands, [Am]tell them
the white [D]stripes stand for
peace. Say if they [G]raise red
white and blue, [C]bluecoats [Am]will
never shoot [G]at you, but stripes
[C]will lose their sheen. [Am]Black
Kettle [G]was their chief, he only
[C]wanted peace, un[D]der the
[Bm]flag... [B]a m[Em]assac[Am]re at Sand
[D]Creek.

[Verse 2]
Wave your flag. [G]Salivate.
[F]Sti[C]rrin[Cm]g feelings of [G]pride and
hate. A peace of [C]cloth can't
hold your faith.
[Cm]No flag flies,

above his [C]empty [Am]grave. No
one knows,
[G]where he lies, and no [C]one
knows [Am]why he h[G]ad to die.

[Verse 4]
A banner [C]year [D]1868, a [B]bitter
[Em]end [Am]a twi[D]st of fate. [G]Maps
[C]won't hold this melanoma,
blurry part of Ok[Cm]lahoma,
where Custer shot and killed
Black Kettle.

[Verse 5]
[G]A promise is a promise, a
judge of [C]char[Cm] ac[G][Am]
[D]ter[G] . [F]His[Em][Eb]
banner [D]over me [C]is [G]love.
