[Intro] D (Dsus2) D x4 [Verse 1]
D              
 Aurora Borealis
The icy sky at night
 Em                   
 Paddles cut the water

      D                      
 In a long and hurried flight

          A         C       G         D    
 From the white man  to the fields of green

         A        C      G     D   
 and the homeland  we've never seen
[Verse 2]
D                        
 They killed us in our teepees
And they cut our women down
      Em
 They might have left some babies

D
 Cryin' on the ground

         A         C         G      D   
 But the firesticks  and the wagons come

         A          C        G       D   
 And the night falls  on the settin' sun
[Verse 3]
D                              
 They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
     Em
 The taxis run across my feet

        D
 And my eyes have turned to blanks

       A         C        G          D   
 In my little box  at the top of the stairs

         A         C       G       D   
 With my indian rug  and a pipe to share
[Break] D D Em D A C G D [Verse 4]
D                     
 I wish I was a trapper
I would give a thousand pelts
    Em
 To sleep with Pocahontas

     D
 and find out how she felt

        A      C       G         D   
 In the mornin' on the fields of green

        A        C      G     D   
 In the homeland  we've never seen
[Verse 5]
D                      
 And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
       Em
 We'll sit and talk of Hollywood

         D
 And the good things there for hire

         A         C        G        D   
 And the Astrodome  and the first teepee

        A      C     G          D   
 Marlon Brando,  Pocahontas and me

        A      C     G          D   
 Marlon Brando,  Pocahontas and me

     A     C    G      D
 Pocahontas
