John Anderson - Yellow Creek
Intro: Bm  
Oh those DYellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters
Of an GIndian nation called the BmCherokee
Then came those Dpioneer settlers that Bmdrove those Indians westward
DFar from their home Gdown on Yellow BmCreek
Now it's Dmany years later and I'm living in the nature
Of this GIndian paradise called TennesBmsee
Where I Dfind those broken arrows that Bmflew like the sparrows
The Dsparrows that still fly Gdown on Yellow BmCreek
Oh those GYellow Creek waters Dbathed the sons and daughters
Of an GIndian nation called the CheroBmkee
Through the Gblood-stained years they Dwalk the Trail of BmTears
DCrying for their home Gdown on Yellow BmCreek
                    **Key Change - Up 2 Semitones**
SomeEtimes my wife and babies think I'm going crazy
When I Atalk about the things I see and hear when they're aC#msleep
Like those EIndian children playing, C#msinging and a-saying
EThis is their home Adown on Yellow C#mCreek
Oh those AYellow Creek waters Ebathed the sons and daughters
Of an AIndian nation called the CheroC#mkee 
Through the Ablood-stained years they Ewalk the Trail of C#mTears
ECrying for their home Adown on Yellow C#mCreek
Oh those AYellow Creek waters Ebathed the sons and daughters
Of an AIndian nation called the CheroC#mkee 
Through the Ablood-stained years they Ewalk the Trail of C#mTears
ECrying for their home Adown on Yellow C#mCreek
