This is a simplified version of how to play this song.  
Nahko has some sweet licks he uses for this song but 
this is the beginners version. :)

Calloused by the times, my ancestors were right 
G    D      Em        C    D      G 
Generations live, and generations die

We will surpass the last, in all we do and realize

It is ancient love, rooted sprouting up 
C  Em  D     C          Em   D     
On the wind, all things must begin

Betrayal is hard to get past, my mother outta know 
G      D      Em     C         D       G 
Broken beated people alive and full of strain

Truth my pack my burden, a load I often drive 
G        D       Em          C      D       G 
The heaviness of wisdom, the weight upon my back 
G       D         Em           C       D      G 
Look at how we've hungered and each in of our own 
G        D      Em         C           D        G 
Struggle I am grateful for loss from which I've grown
