[Verse 1]
Am
Gather round the fire boys,
  Em           Am
a story I will tell
                          Em                    Am
About a persecution I’m sure you don’t know well
                    Em               Am
An Oklahoma tale of trading land and gems
                                    Em
And goin’ down a river that you can’t come back up
     Am
again

[Verse 2]
Am                       Em         Am
Anna Brown was killed in May of ‘21 
                                     Em              Am
They made it look like Anna was just having too much fun
Meanwhile,
             Em            Am
in town they threw a big parade
                                    Em             Am
There stood William Hale and the range war that he waged

[Verse 3]
Am                     Em           Am
Just across the county on that very day
                       Em           Am
In a pool of blood did Charles Whitehorn lay
Charles was Anna’s cousin,
Em           Am
so was Henry Roan
                               Em
Who died shortly after William Hale made him a loan

[Verse 4]
Am        Am                            Em             Am
  William Hale had him a nephew who’d married Mollie Kyle
                                  Em            Am
Mollie was Anna’s sister and it sunk in after while
                             Em             Am
In cities across the country all the papers read
“Reign of Terror Continues,
 Em            Am
Another Indian Dead”

[Verse 5]
      Am                                 Em
Ol’ Hickory Andrew Jackson drove ‘em down through
      Am
Tennessee
                              Em
From Ohio came the Osage, the mountains,
     Am
Cherokee
                                        Em
They left ‘em there to wither on that southern Kansas
Am
soil
                         Em            Am
But this was before the man discovered oil

[Verse 6]
Am                           Em             Am
If you come around here with pretty flowers to sow
                            Em            Am
You might stop and notice nobody’s very old
                       Em            Am
Grass grows so high it covers up the graves
                                Em                 Am
But listen for a while and it might start givin’ names

[Verse 7]
     C                         Am
They called him the King of the  Osage Hills
G                    E7
 He went and got everybody killed
         C                                  Am
Now they talk about the weather like it’s judgment coming
soon
        Dm            Em       Am
For the Killers of the  Flower Moon
