  G C G C G Em C D (Repeat 2x)

  Verse:

  G          C     G              C
  So good at doing what you don't do
  G                 Em                 C                D
  Just trying to protect yourself  And other fools like you
  G       C        G          C
  So well practiced in your deceit
             G             Em              C          D
  Behind the high walls of stupidity, your endless conceit

  Behind the locked doors, the sleeping dog you beat
  I hope I see the day she satisfies her teeth
  Give back to the native the treaty land
  what you preach you preachfor others, why don't you practise that
first hand

  Bridge:

  Em               G         Am              C
  And I just don't understand this world of mine
  Em        G              Am  Bm C  D
  I must be out of step or out of my mind

  And will the profits of destruction forever make your eyes blind
  Do you bow to the corporations 'cause they pay their bills on time
  God bless Elijah with the feather in his hand
  Stop stealing the Indian land
  Stop stealing the Indian land
  Stop Stealing the Indian land.

  Lyrics copied from the Blue Rodeo web site:   www.bluerodeo.com

  Key: A  (Capo on 2nd fret.  Chords shown for key of G.)

  Intro: G

  G              D
  Started out so simple
  Em            C            G
  Everything so innocent and plain
  G            D
  She was in a doorway
     Em             C                G
  And I was walking nowhere down the main

      D
  She whispered something softly
      C                G
  And stepped into the light
  D
  Can you help me out she said
        C             G
  I'm a little lost tonight
  G       D         C               G
  One day love just hits you with a flash
  G             D               C         G
  Lights go off around you like some photograph

  She said her bags were stolen
  All they left her was the camera on her arm
  She told me she was new in town
  Only two weeks off the farm
  Why did I believe her
  Heaven only knows
  She looked into my eyes
  And my resolution goes
  One day love just hits you with a flash
  Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph

  Bridge:

  Em                    D
  Pictures of two fools laughing at the world
  C                         G
  Smiling as only good luck does
  Em                       D
  Truth is you're not even looking at me girl
  Am
  All the time I was falling
  C
  You kept on stalling
  Am                         D
  Sizing up how big a fool I was

  Woke up in the morning
  I don't think that I had been asleep too long
  The room was dark and empty
  I could see that all my clothes and money were gone

  I've run out of excuses
  And people I can blame
  If she ever asked me too
  I'd do it all again
  One day love just hits you with a flash
  Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph
