[Intro]
E B7 E
 
[Verse 1]
E A
The news is out all over town

[!] Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhGLg3biWrw [!]
 
[Intro]
A7 D
 
[Verse 1]
D A7
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
D
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
G
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
A7 D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
 
[Verse 2]
D A7
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
D
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
G
In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
A7 D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
 
[Interlude]
A7 D
 
[Verse 3]
D A7
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
D
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
G
Why do you run and hide from life? To try it just ain't smart
A7 D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
 
[Verse 4]
D A7
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
D
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
G
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
A7 D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?

[Intro]
Em
 
[Verse 1]
Em
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door
Em
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store
Em
Kaw-Liga
B7
Just stood there and never let it show
Em
So she could never answer "yes" or "no"
 
[Verse 2]
Em
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
Em
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Em
Kaw-Liga
B7
Too stubborn to ever show a sign
Em
Because his heart was made of knotty pine
 
[Chorus]
E
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss
A
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed
E B7
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
E
Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head
 
[Fiddle Solo]
E
A
E B7
Em
 
[Verse 3]
Em
Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere
Em
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal-black hair
Em
Kaw-Liga
B7
Just stood there and never let it show
Em
So she could never answer "yes" or "no"
 
[Verse 4]
Em
And then, one day, a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
Em
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Em
Kaw-Liga
Em B7
Just stands there, as lonely as can be
Em
And wishes he was still an old pine tree
 
[Chorus]
E
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss
A
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed
E B7
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Em
Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head
