Tonalité : A major
Verse 1
A
Ira Hayes, Ira Hayes
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
D
He won't answer anymore
E
Not the whiskey -drinkin' Indian
A
Nor the marine that went to war
Gather round me, people
D
There's a story I would tell
E
About a brave young Indian
A
you should remember well
From the land of the Pima Indian,
D
a proud and noble man
E
Who farmed the Phoenix Valley
A
and Arizona land
Down the ditches for a thousand years
D
the water grew Irish people's crops
E
Till the white man stole
the water rights,
A
and the sparkling water stopped.
Now Ira's folks were hungry,
D
and the land grew crops of weeds.
E
When the war came, Ira volunteered,
A
and forgot the white man's greed.
Call him drunken Ira Haines,
D
if he won't answer anymore.
E
Not the whiskey -drinkin' Indians
A
or the marine that went to war
There they battled up Iwo Jima's Hill,
D
two hundred and fifty men
E
But only twenty -seven lived
A
to walk back down again
When the fight was over
D
and when old glory raised
E
Among the men who held it high
A
was the Indian, Ira Hayes.
Call him drunken, Ira Hayes,
D
he won't answer any more.
E
Not the whiskey -drinking Indian,
A
nor the marine that went to war.
Ira returned a hero,
D
celebrated through the land.
E
He was whined and speeched
and honored,
A
everybody shook his hand.
But he was just a Pima Indian,
D
no water, no crops, no chance.
E
At home nobody cared what I was done,
A
when did the Indians dance?
Call him drunken I will hate,
D
he won't answer anymore.
E
Not the whiskey -drinkin' Indian
A
nor the marine that went to war
D
Then Iris started drinkin' hard,
Jill was off in his home
E
He let him raise the flag
A
and lower it like he'd throw a dog a bone
He died drunk one morning,
D
alone in the land he fought to save
E
Two inches of water in a lonely dish
A
was a grave for Ira Hayes.
Call him Drunken Ira Hayes,
D
you won't answer any more.
E
Not the whiskey -drinkin' Indian
A
or the marine that went to war.
Yeah, call him Drunken Ira Hayes,
D
but his land is just as dry,
E
And his ghost is lyin' thirsty
A
in the ditch where Ira died.
