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
