Song: Hoka Hey, Lakotas Tab
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 growinā near
But this time they would show the Whites forever
What it meant to be an Indian warrior
That morninā General Custer came a marchinā
He planned to catch the Indians a sleepinā
He didnāt know he wouldnāt live to fight again
Hoka Hey, Lakotas, Itās a good day to die
Sittinā Bull 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 cominā any day
But Custer didnāt 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
And as they charged he heard their battle cry
Hoka Hey, Lakotas, Itās 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 Redmanās 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, Itās a good day to die
