 G#
 Swan Lee got up at the runningford powwow
                                 B
 And headed from the fire to his waiting canoe.
 G#
 Juttering squaw untied the wigwam door,
      B                    C#
 The chief blew smokerings two by two
  G#
 The land in silence stands


  G#
 Swan Lee, hid his boat  by the bank in the darkness
                      B
 Loosened the rope from the creepers entwined
 G#                                          B
 A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle pointed to the
            C#
 Land where his fortune he'd find
 G#
 The land in silence stands


   G#
 Swan Lee paddled on from the land of his fathers his eyes
             B
 scanned the undergrowth on either side from the shore hung a
 G#                           B
 hot heavy creature infested tropic,
            C#
 Swan Lee had a bow by his side


   G#
 Swan Lee got in half on land half on water
                              B
 Grizzly bear and raccoon his fair
 G#
 He followed his ears to the great waterfall
 B                            C#
 For Swan Lee knew people and his squaw was there
 G#
 The land in silence stands


   G#
 Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder
                             B
 Confronted Swan Lee as this song he sang
 G#                                          B
 In the dawn with his squaw, he was battling homewards,
                   C#
 It was all written down by long Silas Lang
