In the days of 1890 lived an Indian boy, I'm told 
G               Em            D 
He sat upon the rock to prophecy 
       G        C      G
And he spoke of golden bridges 
      C               G
And a black cloud up above 
G                    Em         C      D        G       C   G
And the birds in the water in a circle from the sky 

G           D
And he went down to the valley 
            C                G
And he went down through the trees 
            D
And he went down to the people 
        C
Telling everyone he'd meet 
                   G             Em   C
But no would would believe him 
D            G               Em    C    D
No one would believe him

In the year of 1970 lived an Indian boy, I'm told 
G               Em           D
He sat upon the rock to criticize 
       G       C      G
And he saw the golden bridge 
        C               G
And the black cloud up above 
G                    Em         C      D        G         C   G
And the birds in the water in a circle from the sky 

G           D
And he went down to the valley 
            C                G
And he went down through the trees 
            D

No one would believe him 

          G        Em C          D         G
Why don't you tell me who is the winner 
     Em C          D          G
Tell me who is the winner
