This song is a bit of a gem hidden away on the interweb thingy. It hasn't been recorded and I doubt it ever will be given the fact it has an "older Fred song" sound to it. I don't think the writing is overly poetic or anything, but it conveys enough of the emotion from the topic that it made me want to read the entire Wikipedia page on the "Ipperwash Crisis" which says something since I exist a few provinces and a couple thousand miles away from it.
Let me tell you a story
About Dudley George.
Gunned down in Ipperwash
By the OPP.
Word came down
From old Queens Park,
You get it done
And get it done quickly.
(Chorus)
Reservation cars.
Snake-bit soldiers.
Wooden Indians in antique stores.
The gunned him down
Without a whisper.
Now I don't wanna come around
Here anymore.
They stood around
Their ancient grounds
Like they had 100 years before.
They wouldn't listen,
They never do.
I guess nothin's
Changed since then you know.
(Chorus)
No subpoenas,
No court marshals,
No inquisitions,
Nothing at all.
Just one dead Indian.
Just one more.
It won't be long
Until all of them are gone.
(Chorus) x 2
Chords - As best as I can tell the chords are G, Am, C, G but I might not know my ass from a hole in the ground here.
