[Intro]
G7 C G7  C  G
[Verse]
An east wing Cblew iFn the G7storms of CtimeF  
Where the Metis Emlived Dmby the winding G7river
When on a Emsteel Dmrail the G7settlers EmcameAm  
To the South SasDmkatchewan Fand the land they G7claimed
[Verse]
Then three MeCtis Fand G7GabriCalF  
Rode like the Emwind Dmto wild MonG7tana
There on the EmSweetgrassDm, in a G7church of EmstoneAm  
They found their DmsaviourF, and they brought him G7home
[Chorus]
Saying, "Come RiCel, Fwe'll G7make a CstandF  
Here at BoEmtocheDm, beside the G7river
Ah, never Emmind Dmtheir G7Gatling EmgunsAm  
If we lose this Dmtime, Fwe've G7lost forCever!"F  G7  C  G7  
[Verse]
Well, the bullets Cflew Fand the G7cannons CroaredF  
And the Metis' Emblood Dmflowed like a G7river
Into the Emcoulees Dmwhere they G7ran to EmhideAm  
It washed their Dmdreams awayF, and their spirit G7died
[Chorus]
"Oh, come RiCel, Fwe'll G7make a CstandF  
Here at BoEmtocheDm, beside the G7river
Ah, never Emmind Dmtheir G7Gatling EmgunsAm  
If we lose this Dmtime, Fwe've G7lost forCever!"F  G7  C  G7  
[Verse]
Oh, a silence Cstole FaG7cross the ClandF  
The drums of Emwar Dmwere hushed forG7ever
But in the Emstarlight Dmon the G7barren EmplainsAm  
The cry of DmGabrial Fflies on the G7wind
[Chorus]
"Oh, come RiCel, Fwe'll G7make a CstandF  
Here at BoEmtocheDm, beside the G7river
Ah, never Emmind Dmtheir G7Gatling EmgunsAm  
If we lose this Dmtime, Fwe've G7lost forCever!
If we lose this Dmtime, Fwe've G7lost forCever!"

[Intro]

G7 C G7 C G

[Verse]

C F G7 C F

An east wing blew in the storms of time

Em Dm G7

Where the Metis lived by the winding river

Em Dm G7 Em Am

When on a steel rail the settlers came

Dm F G7

To the South Saskatchewan and the land they claimed

[Verse]

C F G7 C F

Then three Metis and Gabrial

Em Dm G7

Rode like the wind to wild Montana

Em Dm G7 Em Am

There on the Sweetgrass, in a church of stone

Dm F G7

They found their saviour, and they brought him home

[Chorus]

C F G7 C F

Saying, "Come Riel, we'll make a stand

Em Dm G7

Here at Botoche, beside the river

Em Dm G7 Em Am

Ah, never mind their Gatling guns

Dm F G7 C F G7 C G7

If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"

[Verse]

C F G7 C F

Well, the bullets flew and the cannons roared

Em Dm G7

And the Metis' blood flowed like a river

Em Dm G7 Em Am

Into the coulees where they ran to hide

Dm F G7

It washed their dreams away, and their spirit died

[Chorus]

C F G7 C F

"Oh, come Riel, we'll make a stand

Em Dm G7

Here at Botoche, beside the river

Em Dm G7 Em Am

Ah, never mind their Gatling guns

Dm F G7 C F G7 C G7

If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"

[Verse]

C F G7 C F

Oh, a silence stole across the land

Em Dm G7

The drums of war were hushed forever

Em Dm G7 Em Am

But in the starlight on the barren plains

Dm F G7

The cry of Gabrial flies on the wind

[Chorus]

C F G7 C F

"Oh, come Riel, we'll make a stand

Em Dm G7

Here at Botoche, beside the river

Em Dm G7 Em Am

Ah, never mind their Gatling guns

Dm F G7 C

If we lose this time, we've lost forever!

Dm F G7 C

If we lose this time, we've lost forever!"
