Tammany Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hiawatha was an Indian,
so was [Em]Navajo.
[Am]Pale[Em] -faced organ grinders
chased them [Am]many moons ago.
But there is one band of Indians
[Em]who will n[Bm]ever die.
[Em]When they're at their Indian club,
here's their battle [Am]cry.[C]
Tam[Dm]many, Tam[Am]many,
[D]Big [G]Chief sits in his teepee,
[C]cheering Braves to victory.
Tammany, [Am]Tam many,
[D]Swampum[G], Swampum,
get that wampum, Tam[Am]many.
To the island of Manhattan
from [Em]across the sea,
Loaded boats come sailing
past [Am]the Squaw of Liberty.
Settle down in UTPs,
but [Em]come election day,
Indi[E]an drums begin to sound,
here is what [Am]they say.[C]
Tam[Dm]many, [Am]Tammany,
we [G]don't care if you can't read,
[C]every vote is what we need.
Tammany, [D]Tam[Am]many,
[G]make those floaters,
Tammany voters, Tam[Am]many.
Every night in Graveyard Brays
go [Em]searching through the mist.
Write em' names from tombstones
[E]for the [Am]next election list.
Sink em' hatchet in your skull
if [Em]you for o[Bm]thers slate.
[D]If [Em]you vote em' twen[E]ty times
[Em]they make you candidate.
[Am]Tamm[G]any,[C] Tamma[Am]ny.
[G]Your policemen can't be beat,
[C]they can sleep on any street.
Tam[Am]many, Tammany.
[G]Swamp 'em, Swamp 'em,
Get that Wamp 'em Harmony!
