TRAIL OF TEARS

TRAIL OF TEARS

Am Bm/A C/A Am C/A Bm (3) E
A
CHORUS - Well, the trees don’t grow
And the grass don’t grow
E
And the flowers won’t grow on a Trail of Tears

You can see it from the sky
You can smell it in the wind
You can feel it in your heart like a dying twin
F E
When will it end

          Dm

You can talk about the Nazis
killing all the Jews and Gypsies
Am E A
So self-righteous. So self-rightious

You can talk about your Okies
Going from place to no place
Should I warn you about California

CHORUS

                              Dm

There ought to be a flower
For every tear that fell there
C Am E Am
But a flower won’t grow on a trail of bitter tears

CHORUS - Na na na na

CHORUS

Well, this is now and that was then
Do you really think it could happen again
Where and when?

Heyenya heyen heyya…

CHORUS
