Вступление
[Intro]
GC
[Verse 1]
N.C. Am
The southeast wind blows
C
Whispering softly
G
Through the sawgrass
C
As the twilight fades
Am
And tells the story
C
Of a Seminole Indian
G
And the swampland
C
Of the Everglades
[Verse 2]
Am
Once long ago there
C
Only the Indians
G
Knew the sawgrass
C
And the cypress tree
Am
And watched the sunset
C
In its tropical splendor
G
On his homeland
C
Where a man was free
[Chorus]
F
Oh mighty warrior,
C
Great Seminole chieftain
F
Osceola
G
Your spirit is there
N.C. Am
Watch over your children
C
Of the Seminole people
G
In the swampland
C
Called the Everglades
[Verse 3]
Am
Then came the white man
C
Bringing destruction
G
To the swampland
C
And the Indian's home
Am
They tried to move him
C
Far away from his southland
G
And the sawgrass
C
Where the wildcats roamed
[Verse 4]
Am
Then Osceola
C
Shackled in prison
G
In the northland
C
They would not set free
Am
Well, they let him die there
C
Far away from his homeland
G
From the sawgrass
C N.C.
And the cypress tree
[Riff]

[Verse 5]
Bm
But now this red man
D
Never defeated
A
Of the white man
D
He is unafraid
Bm
For he's still living
D
Where the sawgrass is waving
A
Proud and lonely
D
Where the swampers wade
[Verse 6]
Bm
Now as the wind blows
D
Whispering softly
A
Through the sawgrass
D
And the twilight fades
Bm
It's Osceola
D
For his spirit's yet restless
A
When the sun sets
D
On the everglades
[Chorus]
G
Oh mighty warrior,
D
Great Seminole chieftain
G
Osceola
A
Your spirit is there
N.C. Bm
Watch over your children
D
Of the Seminole people
A
In the swampland
D
Called the Everglades
[Outro]
A
In the swampland
D
Called the Everglades
