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 C Em7 F Em7 Am C Em7 F Em7 F 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 C Em7 F Em7 Am C Em7 F Em7 Am
