Comanche (the brave horse)

C G C

1. The battle was over at Custer’s last strand,

F C

and tabs were sounding for all the brave man,

F C

while one lone survivor, wounded and weak,

G F C

Comanche, the brave horse lay at the general’s feet.

F C

Comanche, you fought hard, Comanche, you tried,

G F C

you were a good soldier, so hold your head up high.

F C

For even the greatest sometimes must fall,

G G7 F C

Comanche, the brave horse, you gave your all.

C G C

2. Though you are silent, your deeds did speak loud,

F C

if your buddies could see you, I know they’d be proud.

F C

The symbol of bravery at the Little Big Horn,

G G7 F C

poor old Comanche, you’re battle-scarred and torn.
