In My Tribe

Am

            Em        Am
In Monument Valley we ride
              Em     Am      G
Myself and my Navajo guide
    F                         E7
I'm moved by the majesty that lives here in this place
           Am            Em            Am
His native home, the dry desert of his race

                   Em             Am
I don't know these mesas or these lands
                          Em                  Am    G
Like the fields my mother ploughed beside her dad
      F                         E7
And I hold every story that her father told to me
  Am       Em              Am
As dear as myths of the Anasazi

               Em                Am
We ride on and sing our peoples' songs
                       Em              Am     G
From roots that run as deep as they do long
      F                          E7
And although I was born here and raised in this nation
             Am            Em        B
The blood is strong in the first generation

   Am          Em           Am
My grandmother swept a dirt floor
              Em         Am
As the Navajo did here before
   F                     E7
Kayenta and Kerry may be wide water apart
           Am          Em               Am
But we're alike in the deep core of the heart

                  Em              Am
I've seen the sun set at The Sun's Eye
                    Em        Am
Left an echo in The Hogan nearby
  F                         E7
A song of my people that my mother gave to me
            Am       Em        Am
In my tribe music is blood memory
Am       Em        F
Music is blood memory
