C          G                   D     C                G          D   G 
Drivin' down a dry summer's day, old route 66 and I was just a kid 
C                           G                 D  G   
Met a pretty little Indian girl along the way 
C                         G                   D                      
Got her into my car and tried to give her a kiss 
C              G             D   G    
"I'll give you beads and wampum" 
C                    G                  D    G 
"Whatever it takes, girl to make you trade" 
C                         D               C                D 
She jumped into the back seat and she kinda flipped her lid 
C                               D                              
She said, "You're trying to get somethin' for nothing 
C                      G          D           
Like the pilgrims in the olden days." 

C          G                 D              G 
We rode for a while, till the sun went away 
     C                       G                         D    G 
I realized it was a sort of an honor being around this girl 
C                        G                     D  
I felt embarrassed of what I tried to do earlier that day 
C              G            D  
She was the saddest girl I ever knew 

C                           D                G 
She told me stories about the Indian nations 
C                    G                  D  
And how the white man stole their lives away 
C                    G                       D  
And although she kinda liked me, she could never trust me 
C                 G                    D 
And when the sun comes up, we go our different ways 


G                  D 
Now everybody has got the choice 
         C            D 
Between hotdogs and hamburgers 
G                  D 
Every one of us has got to choose 
         Em 
Between right and wrong 
   C                D 
And givin' up or holdin' on 


C                      G                         D     G 
So I dropped her off at some railroad crossing in Texas 
C              G                  D  G 
An old Indian man was waiting there 
C                   G                   D            G 
He smiled and thanked me but he saw right through me 
C                    G                         D            G 
I could tell he didn't like me, for my kind, he did not care 
C               G                D 
Because to him, I was the white man 
C                    G                        D 
The one who sold him something that he already owned 
C                           G                      D 
And it was like he'd been ridin' in the car right there with us 
C                               G                    D 
And I felt ashamed of my actions and the way the west was really won 
                                                        G  C 
So I drove down the highway, till I came to Los Angeles 
                                                        G D 
To the town of the angels, the best this country can do 
                                                 G  C 
I got down on my knees and I ask for forgiveness 
                                  D 
I said, "lord, forgive us, for we know not what we do." 

G                  D 
Now everybody has got the choice 
         C            D 
Between hotdogs and hamburgers 
G                  D 
Every one of us has got to choose 
         Em 
Between right and wrong 
   C                D 
And givin' up or holdin' on
