LOST IN THE FIRE
G D
Windigo Lake shone like a great northern jewel,
Em C
Indian homeland before the Whiteman's rule.
Peter Bear stood proud, his spear raised to strike.
He fished like his forefathers half thru the night, half thru the night.
Buck Mills had tracked him; his grudge was still clear.
Only the Chippewa had spear fishing rights here.
Officer Riley saw Buck's Winchester, too.
He drove in lights flashing, before tempers flew,
G D
before tempers flew.
Bury the spear. Empty the gun.
Can't you see the color of what you've begun?
Red for the anger, tight as a wire.
Em Cm - A - D -C - D
Can't you see that common sense is lost in the fire?
G D C
Lie la la lie la la lie lie.
Jenny Bear watched them build the barricade stronger.
The protestors from the town wouldn't tarry much longer.
(She was) too young to help her dad as the Chippewa
blocked the road to Wind Island with a sign that said "stop", a sign that said "stop".
The treaty that gave them the spear fishing rights
had reduced their homeland like a vice held tight.
Trapped and forgotten, pitied and mocked,
they held onto magic as they sang on the dock, sang on the dock.
