[Verse 1]
C F Em7
Little Indian boy from the mountain states
Am F
Went to seek his fame and fortune
C G
In the rest of the human race
C F
But as time went on
Em7 F
He heard his freedom song growing faint and thin
C
Like a little boy
F C G F C
Cast his dreams like toys to the wind
[Verse 2]
C F Em7
Riding along, sure life he had
Am F C G
And the wealthy land his fathers gave him, with his brother
C F Em7 F
But as time went on their lust was strong and they didn't end
C
Like a little boy
F C G F C
Whose dreams were shattered like toys by the wind
[Bridge 1]
G
Oh why?
F C C7
When it took all of the love that he had
F Em7 G
It liked to feed him so badly, tryin' to be a friend
C F
It's a sad world we live in
Em7 F
Tryin' to love can't help you live
C
Like a little boy
F C G F C
Whose dreams were shattered like toys by the wind
[Instrumental]

Little chief, why do you go so far to see the world
Am F C G
As you grow you'll come to know the meaning of a time

I spend my life looking for your past freedom, growing thin

Like a little boy

All my childish dreams have been shattered like toys by the wind
[Bridge 2]

Oh my homeland, and my people, why do you forsake me?
F Em7
'Fore I give my hand
G
To that Indian boy and his hope growing small and thin

I'm seein' this world, this lonesome world
Em7 F
Being taken by all your lies
C
A little boy

All my childish dreams have been shattered like toys by the wind
