Went to the movie matinee - To see the blue coats try to get away
D7                          G7
From a smoke signal  --  Above the trees

A smoke signal  --  Shifting in the breeze

Indian maid will plant the seed - And cultivate a whole new breed

When they're torn out by the roots

Young brothers join in cahoots
D7                               G7
To send a smoke signal  --  Near and far

You don't believe what they say on the radio

Still waiting for the smoke to clear away
