[Intro]

Em Em D D D Em
C C D G G Am

Em Em D D D Em
White man came across the sea
C C D G G Am
He brought us pain and misery
Em Em D D D Em
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
C C D G G Am
He took our game for his own need

Em Em D D D Em
We fought him hard, we fought him well
C C D G G Am
Out on the plains, we gave him hell
Em Em D D D Em
But ma-ny came, too much for Cree
C C D G G D
Oh, will we ever be set free?

[Verse 1]

D (Gallop)
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
C (Gallop) C C/B C C/B
Galloping hard on the plains
D (Gallop)
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
C (Gallop) C C/B C C/B
Fighting them at their own game

Am C
Murder for freedom, the stab in the back
F D
Women and children and cowards attack

[Chorus]

G F C G N.C. (-0-1-2 on E string)
Run to the hills, run for your lives
G F C G
Run to the hills, run for your lives

[Verse 2]

D (Gallop)
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
C (Gallop) C C/B C C/B
Hunting and killing the game
D (Gallop)
Raping the women and wasting the men
C (Gallop) C C/B C C/B
The only good Indians are tame

Am C
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
F D
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

[Chorus]

G F C G N.C. (-0-1-2 on E string)
Run to the hills, run for your lives
G F C G
Run to the hills, run for your lives

A note ascending to B to C then D x4

[Chorus]

G F C G N.C. (-0-1-2 on E string)
Run to the hills, run for your lives
G F C G N.C. (-0-1-2 on E string)
Run to the hills, run for your lives

Run to the hills, run for your lives
G F C Bm G
Run to the hills, run for your lives
