Chords/Tabulature for
Broken Arrow
Submitted by: David M (davidjo@ozemail.com.au)
Notes about this song:
- This tab is very detailed. If you want to have it a bit simpler,
skip the Gsus4 and Dmaj7 chords, and play regular
chords instead of the ones indexed with " * " and "(2)".
- A tab for the jazzy clarinet solo is also available.

Dm Bb Em* Dm* Gsus4 Cmaj7
G Bm Em C
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down,
Am D
And when it was over it felt like a dream,
Am D
They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream,
G G/F# Em
The agents had paid for the black limousine
C D
that waited outside in the rain.
CHORUS:
Gsus4 G C Cmaj7 C
Did you see them, did you se--e them?
F Fmaj7 F6 F Fmaj7 F6
Dm G
Did you see them in the river?
Bb Dm Em(2) Dm(2)
They were there to wave to you.
Dm G
Could you tell that the empty-quivered,
Bb Dm Em*
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
Dm* Em*
that were crowded and narrow,
F G
held a broken arrow?
(end of CHORUS)
G Bm Em C
Eighteen years of American dream,
Am D
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall.
Am D
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall,
G G/F# Em
His mother had told him a trip was a fall,
C D
And don't mention babies at all.
(CHORUS)
G Bm Em C
The streets were lined for the wedding parade,
Am D
The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song,
Am D
The black covered caisson her horses had drawn
G G/F# Em
Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn.
C D
They married for peace and were gone.
F G F G F
