Hoka Hey Lakotas

	  		Dm                  C             Dm 
Come listen while I tell you the story 
                 C              Dm 
Of a battle that happened years ago 
                           C              Dm 
Where brave men fought and died for their people 
                        C               Dm 
Where the waters of the Little Big Horn flow 
 
REPEAT CHORD PROGRESSION 
 
For many years the Indian fought the White Man 
I guess they knew the end was growin?ear 
But this time they would show the Whites forever 
What it meant to be an Indian warrior 
 
That mornin?eneral Custer came a marchin?>From the south with his 600 men 
He planned to catch the Indians a sleepin?He didn?know he wouldn?live to fight again 
 
 
Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It?a good day to die 
 
 
Sittin?ull made medicine on the mountain 
While Crazy Horse got ready for the fight 
Some 200 braves, Sioux and Cheyenne 
Prepared for their battle with the whites 
 
The scouts for General Custer tried to warn him 
To wait for soldiers comin?ny day 
But Custer didn?want to share the glory 
He thought the Indians might just get away 
 
At noon Custer gave his final order 
And the re beneath that blue Montana sky 
>From outa?owhere came the hordes of Redmen 
And as they charged he heard their battle cry 
 
Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It?a good day to die 
 
The quiet of the day had now been shattered 
The air filled with arrows, smoke and lead 
The bloody battle lasted just one hour 
Custer and his soldiers all lay dead 
 
Now the wind still blows across the prairie 
The seasons they come and they go 
But this the Redman?Day of Glory 
We will all remember ever more 
 
Yes we recall that famous day of glory 
The Battle of the Little Big Horn 
 
Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It?a good day to die
