INDIAN WEDDING: ROY ORBISON (Roy Orbison) 4/4 - 100

As a fan of Roy, I noticed the Chords version on U.G. has a lot
of flaws, so hope you will place this corrected version.

VERSE 1:

|C |Dm
There once was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow Hand.

They vowed their love would last forever mo-re,

then came the day that they had waited for.

Yellow Hand brought her a golden feather.

White Sands said a prayer for good weather.

They ne-ver returned from para-dise,

if you listen close, you will hear him cry.
