[Verse]
 
E                  B
 They lived in peace, not long ago
E               B       B   D   C
A mighty Indian tribe
                        E
But the winds of change,
F#        G             A                        C
Made them realize, that the promises were lies.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E                     B
The white man's greed, in search of gold
E                 B      E   D   C
Made the nation bleed
                     E
They lost their faith
F#                 G
And now they had to learn
          A                C
There was no place to return
            D
Nowhere they could turn.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        E E D D    G G C C
Cherokee        Ohh        
                  E E D D     E C G D D
marching on the trail of tears.
 
        E E D D    G G C C
Cherokee        Ohh        
                  E E D D     E C G D D
marching on the trail of tears.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
E                     B
 They were driven hard, 
                 E
across the plains
                   B      B   D   C
And walked for many moons
                         E
Cause the winds of change,
F#                  G      A                C
Had made them realize, that the promises were lies.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
E               B               E
 So much to bear, all that pain
               B      D   C
Left them in despair
                     E
They lost their faith
F#                 G
And now they had to learn
          A                C
There was no place to return
            D
Nowhere they could turn.
