Land Of The Navajo (Jerry Garcia)

		Intro: Em (4 bars)
 
Chorus:
 C                  G            D                  Em
Oh, the wind blows cold, on the trail of the buffalo 
 C                  G            D                Em
Oh, the wind blows cold, in the land of the Navajo 
 C       D             Em
In the land of the Navajo 
 
     G                            C
A hundred miles from nowhere out on the desert sand 
 D                                                     G
One-eyed Jack, the trader, held some torquoise in his hand 
    G                                       C
He bought his sights from Running Elk, his long-time indian friend 
 D                                                    G
He vowed that he would stay by Jack until the bitter end 
 
Jack had gambled everything he owned to lead this wanderin life 
He mightve had a happy home and a tender loving wife 
But his hunger was for trading trappers furs for torquoise stone 
Anything that the indians had, Jack wanted for his own

Said Jack to Running Elk, Ill gamble all my precious stones 
Before I leave my body here among these bleachin bones 
But now my time is drawing near and Im filled with dark regrets 
My spirit longs to journey as the sun begins to set 
 
For we raped and killed, we stole your land 
We ruled with guns and knives 
Fed whiskey to your warriors while we stole away your wives 
Said Running Elk, whats done is done, you white men rule this land 
So lay the cards face up and play your last broken-hearted hand 
 
Chorus

When youre dealing cards with death, the jokers wild, 
the aces high 
Jack bid the Mississippi River, Running Elk raised him the sky 
Jack saw him with the sun and moon and upped him with the stars 
Running Elk bet the Rocky Mountains, Jupiter, and Mars 
 
The sun was sinking in the west when Jack drew the ace of spades 
Running Elk just rolled his eyes, his smiling passed away 
Jack picked up his torquoise stones and cast them to the sky 
He stared into the setting sun and then made the mournful cry 
 
Chorus: Em
Jam on: Em }4x D }4x
