Quiet Desperation

Written by Floyd Red Crow Westerman

	  		(intro) D G D G

            D                    G   D           Em
    My soul is in the mountain, my heart is in the land,
           G                      A                       D
    I'm lost here in the city, there's so much I don't understand.
                   D               G D     Em                              G          A      D
    There's quiet desperation          coming over me, coming over me.

                  A                   G                 D
I've got to leave I can't stay another day,
                   A               G                  D
there's an emptiness        inside of me.
             A           G                    D          A
I can't bear the loneliness out here,
                           A7                    G
there's another place I've got to be,
                                        D
another place I’ve got to be.

( G D G )

       D                       G   D                        Em
    I long for you, Dakota, the smell of sweet grass on the plain,
        G                      A                     D
    I see too much meanness and I feel too much pain.
                   D               G D     Em                              G          A      D
    There's quiet desperation          coming over me, coming over me.

                  A                   G                 D
I've got to leave I can't stay another day,
                   A               G                  D
there's an emptiness        inside of me.
             A           G                    D          A
I can't bear the loneliness out here,
                           A7                    G
there's another place I've got to be,
                                        D
another place I’ve got to be.
