My father married a pure Cherokee

My mother's people were ashamed of me 
F           C               G        E7 
The Indians said that I was white by law

The white man always called me 'Indian squaw'

Half-breed, that's all I ever heard 
Am                Dm  
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word 
Am          Dm  
Half-breed, she's no good, they warned 
F               Am                   Dm7       Am 
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
 
 
 
F        C                  G 
We never settled, went from town to town 
G               E7                Am   
When you're not welcome you don't hang around 
F         C               G          E7 
The other children always laughed at me 
Am          Am7              F             
'Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee' 
 
Am                 Dm 
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard 
Am                Dm  
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word 
Am          Dm  
Half-breed, she's no good, they warned 
F               Am                   Dm7       Am 
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
 
 
 
F          C              G  
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed 
G          E7                 Am   
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame 
F             C             G           E7             
My life since then has been from man to man 
Am              Am7       F 
But I can't run away from what I am 
 
CHORUS: 2X 
Am                 Dm 
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard 
Am                Dm  
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word 
Am          Dm  
Half-breed, she's no good, they warned 
F               Am                   Dm7       Am 
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
