Lyrics:

G
I was riding down the river in a real old Indian canoe

The bottom fell out and I went down and I came up a hollering to
C
Give it back to the Indians (give it back to the Indians)
G
Give it back to the Indians (give it back to the Indians)
D7 C G
Give it back to the Indians


I was shooting with a bow and arrow

When the bow broke and hit me in the face

That sort of thing must not be made for this kind of human race
C
Give it back to the Indians (give it back to the Indians)
G
Give it back to the Indians (give it back to the Indians)
D7 C G
Give it back to the Indians

C D7 G
Somebody told me that a heartache started with an Indian maid
C A7 D7
She loved a young brave and he loved her then she upped and ran away
G
The one I love just hurt me left with someone new

Now I got a big heartache and I don't know what to do
C
Give it back to the Indians (give it back to the Indians)
G
Give it back to the Indians (give it back to the Indians)
D7 C G
Give it back to the Indians

Repeat #3
