VERSE 1:
F C G
My father married a pure Cherokee

My mother's people were ashamed of me

The Indians said that I was white by law
Am Am7 F
The white man always called me "Indian squaw"
CHORUS:
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 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"
CHORUS:
Am Dm
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard

Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame

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

Both sides were against me since the day I was born
