[Verse 1]
Am
Jack Malloy came up to me
Dm
At a party on the hill
G
Sad expression on his face
G
Am
He said though it grieves me so
Dm
I’ve been asked to throw you out
G
By the owner of this place
G
[Pre Chorus]
F G
I said to him I wonder how come
Am
You can turn on a friend
Am
F G
I think it’s so sad
Bb Am
We will never be the same again
[Chorus]
F G
But please don’t tell me
Am
I’m an Indian
Am
F G
No please don’t tell me
Bb Am
We will never be the same again
Dm Em
But if you tell me
F Em
I’m an Indian
F G
Then you’re an Indian too
F G
That makes you an Indian too
G
[Verse 2]
Am
For several years I have been
Dm
On the edge of every scene
G
A stranger in my town
G
Am
And even though they say hello
Dm
They will not be seen with me
G
I guess they’ve never known
G
[Pre Chorus]
F G
I wonder how come
Am
They try to pretend
Am
F G
I think it’s so sad
Bb Am
We will never be the same again
[Chorus]
F G
But please don’t tell me
Am
I’m an Indian
F G
No please don’t tell me
Bb Am
We will never be the same again
Dm Em
And if you tell me
F Em
I’m an Indian
G
Then you’re an Indian too
F G
You’re an Indian too
[Verse]
Am
I used to spend my money on
Dm
Trying so hard to belong
G
I’ll drink for you my friend
G
Am
Sometimes I just sit and call
Dm
Every number on the wall
G
It gets you in the end
G
[Pre Chorus]
F G
I wonder how come
Am
They can turn me away
F G
I think it’s so sad
Bb Am
We will never be the same again
[Chorus]
F G
No please don’t tell me
Am
I’m an Indian
F G
No please don’t tell me
Bb Am
We will never be the same again
Dm Em
But if you tell me
F Em
I’m an Indian
G
Then you’re an Indian too
F G
You’re an Indian too

I’m an Indian

I’m an Indian
