[Intro]
D G D G G D
[Verse 1]
DHe come to town looking for work back on a year or Gtwo
Now he's Asleeping in the bushes off to one side of GMontana DAvenue
GoDod people walk by shaking their head saying now ain't it a Gshame
Another Indian Aboy lost to the bottle and the mGethamphetDamines
[Chorus]
DBut he dreams of BmHorses And Eagle DWings
FmThe Dance of the BmBuffalo, Sacred Arings
At the Medicine GWheel.. they'll be DSinging
A thousand Gvoices to call him Ahome
To the GBig Horn MountDains aGbove the DTree line
GAt the Medicine DWheel.. tAime rolls Don
[Verse 2]
DNow he woke up stumbling blind, yelling in the middle of the Gstreet
ACops came round, took him downGtown so he could get some Dsleep
DAnd they think it was just about the break of dawn
he just slipped Gaway
He'd been  tAalking all night but nobody knew
Gwhat he was trying to Dsay
[Chorus]
DIt was something about BmHorses And Eagle DWings
FmThe Dance of the BmBuffalo Sacred ringAs
At the Medicine GWheel they'll be SiDnging
A thousand Gvoices to call him hoAme
To the GBig Horn DMountains Gabove the DTree line
GAt the Medicine DWheel... tAime rolls Don....
 GAt the Medicine DWheel...Atime rolls Don....
