[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G D
Take a walk along the Allegheny, a stroll by the Monaca Sea
G D A7
Listen to those words and you will know their eternal legacy
D G D
Wander into Wyomissing, gaze upon a sacred tree
G D A7 D
You can almost see the spirits of The Lenni Lenape
[Verse 2]
D G D
For many centuries before us, they lived in harmony
G D A7
With forests, fields, streams and trees in sweet tranquility
D G D
They left behind their tales and legends, they live now in our memories
G D A7 D
We tread the trails they blazed for us, these Lenni Lenape
[Chorus]
G D
They're with us still, in places where we live and play
G A7
Throughout our hills, they echo to this very day
[Verse 3]
D G D
Conrad Weiser and Chief Shikellamy are names we now recall
G D A7
They talked of peace and understanding for the benefit of all
D G D
But along came pioneers and progress and the Lenni Lenape were doomed
G D A7
They fled beyond the new frontier as their homeland was consumed
D G D
They speak to us from distant ages, at times so very long ago
G D A7 D
And now upon our history pages, their stories and traditions grow
[Verse 4]
D G D
The way they lived their lives is mired in myth and mystery
G D A7 D
We'll never really know these natives called the Lenni Lenape
