Verse
[Am]Gather round the fire boys, a [Em]story I will [Am]tell
About a persecution I’m [Em]sure you don’t know [Am]well
An Oklahoma tale of [Em]trading land and [Am]gems
Goin’ down a river that you [Em]can’t come back up [Am]again[Am]
[Am]Anna Brown was killed in [Em]May of [Am]‘21
They made it look like Anna was just [Em]having too much [Am]fun
Meanwhile, in town they [Em]threw a big [Am]parade
There stood William Hale and the [Em]range war that he [Am]waged
Instrumental

Verse
[Am]Just across the county [Em]on that very [Am]day
In a pool of blood did [Em]Charles Whitehorn [Am]lay
Charles was Anna’s cousin, [Em]so was Henry [Am]Roan
Who died shortly after William [Em]Hale made him a [Am]loan[Am]
[Am]William Hale had him a nephew who’d [Em]married Molliе [Am]Kyle
Mollie was Anna’s sister and it [Em]sunk in aftеr [Am]a while
In cities across the country [Em]all the papers [Am]read
“Reign of Terror Continues, [Em]Another Indian [Am]Dead”
Instrumental

Verse
[Am]Ol’ Hickory Andrew Jackson drove ‘em [Em]down through [Am]Tennessee
From Ohio came the Osage, the [Em]mountains, [Am]Cherokee
They left ‘em there to wither on that [Em]southern Kansas [Am]soil
But this was before the [Em]man discovered [Am]oil[Am]
[Am]If you come around here with [Em]pretty flowers [Am]to sow
You might stop and notice [Em]nobody’s very [Am]old
Grass grows so high it [Em]covers up the [Am]graves
Listen for a while and it [Em]might start givin’ [Am]names
Outro
They [C]called him the King of the [Am]Osage Hills
[G]He went and got [Em]everybody killed
Now they [C]talk about the weather like it’s [Am]judgment coming soon
For the [Dm]Killers of the [Em]Flower [Am]Moon
[Am] [Em] [Am] [Em] [Am]
