G#Swan Lee got up at the runningford powwow and headed from the
fire to his Bwaiting canoe.
G#Juttering squaw untied the wigwam door, the Bchief blew
smokerings C#two by two
G#The land in silence stands
Swan Lee, his boat by a by the bank in the darkness loosened
the rope from the creepers entwined
A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle pointed to the
land where his fortune he'd find
The land in silence stands
Swan Lee paddled on from the land of his fathers his eyes
scanned the undergrowth on either side from the shore hung a
hot heavy creature infested tropic, Swan Lee had a bow by his
side
Swan Lee got in half on land half on water grizzly bear and
raccoon his fair
he followed his ears to the great waterfall for Swan Lee knew
people and his squaw was there
the land in silence stands
Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder confronted Swan
Lee as this song he sang
In the dawn with his squaw, he was battling homewards, it was
all written down by long Silas Lang

Swan Lee got up at the runningford powwow and headed from the

fire to his waiting canoe.

G# B

Juttering squaw untied the wigwam door, the chief blew

smokerings two by two

The land in silence stands

Swan Lee, his boat by a by the bank in the darkness loosened

the rope from the creepers entwined

A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle pointed to the

land where his fortune he'd find

The land in silence stands

Swan Lee paddled on from the land of his fathers his eyes

scanned the undergrowth on either side from the shore hung a

hot heavy creature infested tropic, Swan Lee had a bow by his

side

Swan Lee got in half on land half on water grizzly bear and

raccoon his fair

he followed his ears to the great waterfall for Swan Lee knew

people and his squaw was there

the land in silence stands

Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder confronted Swan

Lee as this song he sang

In the dawn with his squaw, he was battling homewards, it was

all written down by long Silas Lang
