Johnny Cash – Pocahontas (Guitar)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..
