Aurora borealis

The icy sky at night

Paddles cut the water

In a long and hurried flight

From the white man

to the fields of green

And the homeland

we've never seen.

A
They killed us in our teepees
A
And they cut our women down
Bm
They might have left some babies
A
Cryin' on the ground
EG
But the firesticks
DA
and the wagons come
EG
And the night falls
DA
on the setting sun.
A
They massacred the buffalo
A
Kitty corner from the bank
Bm
The taxis run across my feet
A
And my eyes have turned to blanks
EG
In my little box
DA
at the top of the stairs
EG
With my Indian rug
DA
and a pipe to share.
AAAAAAAAAms
A
I wish a was a trapper
A
I would give thousand pelts
Bm
To sleep with Pocahontas
A
And find out how she felt
EG
In the morning
DA
on the fields of green
EG
In the homeland
DA
we've never seen.
A
And maybe Marlon Brando
A
Will be there by the fire
Bm
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
A
And the good things there for hire
EG
And the Astrodome
DA
and the first teepee
EG
Marlon Brando,
DA
Pocahontas and me
EG
Marlon Brando,
DA
Pocahontas and me
EA
Pocahontas.
