lyrics

C E
Looks like I walk through empty rooms
F C
Like I sleep in an empty bed
C E
But baby you still fill this house
F G
Like you fill my heart and head

F C
I see you sitting at the table
E F
Your coffee cup is full
C Am
Still willing and cheerful and able
F G
Still as stubborn as Sitting Bull
FGC

The ones who loved him saw Jesus
After he was dead
People still see Elvis
He fills their hearts and heads

Billy Joe says we live forever
The circle is always full
Billy Joe’s a little crazy
But he’s as wise as Sitting Bull


BRIDGE: Little Bighorn or Graceland g f
Calvary or the Wild West Show c am
It’s what happens after the last stand c f
That’s got me buffaloed cg c

Sitting Bull was a holy man
He did a ghost dance to raise the dead
He believed that they still love us
And can fill our hearts and heads

Death seems as cruel as Custer
Or an empty cup that was never full
But maybe the spirit’s a dark horse
That’s as blessed as Sitting Bull



Sitting Bull was a holy man
He did a ghost dance to raise the dead
He believed that they still love us
And can fill our hearts and heads

Death seems as cruel as Custer
An empty cup that was never full
But I’m hoping the spirit’s a dark horse
And as blessed as Sitting Bull
