[Verse 1]
C
Aurora Borealis,
C
The icy sky at night.
Dm
Paddles cut the water,
C
in a long and hurried flight.
G
From the white man,
Bb F C
to the fields of green.
G
In the homeland,
Bb F C
we've never seen.
[Verse 2]
C
They killed us in our tepee,
C
they cut our women down.
Dm
They might have left some babies,
C
crying on the ground.
G
But the firesticks,
Bb F C
and the wagons come.
G
And the night falls,
Bb F C
on the setting sun.
[Verse 3]
C
They massacred the buffalo,
C
kitty corner from the bank.
Dm
Taxis run across my feet,
C
and my eyes have turned to blanks.
G
And my little box,
Bb F C
at the top of the stairs.
G
With my Indian rug,
Bb F C
and a pipe to share.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
C
I wish I was a trapper,
C Cmaj7
I would give a thousand pelts.
Dm
To sleep with Pocahontas,
C
and find out how she felt.
G
In the morning,
Bb F C
on the fields of green.
G
In the homeland,
Bb F C
we've never seen.
[Outro]
C
And maybe Marlon Brando,
C
will be there by the fire.
Dm
We'll sit and talk about Hollywood,
C
and the good things there for hire.
G
Like the Astrodome,
Bb F C
and the first tepee.
C G Bb F C
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me.
C G Bb F C
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me.
C G F C
Pocahontas..
