Custer's Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][C][Em][C][Dm][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Well[C][Dm][C][Dm]
[C]you loo[Dm]k just like General Custer
on the [C]day of his last stand
[Dm]Heading up into the black hills
glori[C]ous and grand
[Dm]I saw it by your side
[C]a map in your hand
[Dm]Heading up into [C]the rain
singing "This land is your [Dm]land"

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][Dm][C][Em][C]

[Verse 2]
Now I've [Dm]seen your dust a-rising
and and I've [C]seen your
numbers [Em]swell[G][C][G]
[Dm]I've seen you crossing the badlands
and [C]I've heard your captain[G]s yell[C]
[Dm]I've watched you when you're sleeping
[C]I've seen you filling up you[G]r can[C]
[Dm]Thinking as you work[C]
that this land is your [Dm]land

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][C][Em][G][C][Dm][C][Dm]
[C][Em]
[G][C][Dm][C][Am][C][Em][Dm][C][Em]
[Dm][C][Em]

[Verse 3]
But now you're [Dm]bursting into my country
[C]you're messing up my fie[Em]lds
[Dm]You're playing games with
my holy places
you're tearing the earth
with [Em]your [G]wheels[Em]
[Dm]Right now your star is ascending
and your [Em]head [Dm]is bursting with [G]pride[C]
[Dm]But I wonder if Custer was
still [C]singing
“This land is my
land� when he died
[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[C]
[Em]Was he still[C] singing “this is
[Em]my land� when he d[Dm]ied[C]
was he singing that it's my
[Dm]land when he [C]died
Was he singing when he [Dm]died[C]
[Dm][Em][Dm][C][Dm]
[C][Dm][C][Dm]
was he singing when he died
Was [C]he singing it's
my land when he died
when he died
Was [Dm]he singing when he died
