G
Aurora borealis, the icy sky at night

Am                         G
Paddles cut the water in a long and hurried flight

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

G    D        F          C     G    G
To a homeland that we've never seen
[Verse 2]
G
They killed us in our teepees and they cut our women down

     Am                          G
They might have left some babies crying on the ground

G        D           F       C      G    G
When the fire sticks and the wagons come

G       D           F      C       G   G
And the night falls on the setting sun
(Interlude For Mandolin) G G G G Am Am G G F C G G F C G G [Verse 3]

They massacred the buffalo kitty-corner from the bank

    Am                              G
And taxis run across my feet and my eyes have turned to blanks

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

        D           F     C       G     G
With my Indian love and a pipe to share
(Interlude For Fiddle) G G G G Am Am G G F C G G F C G G [Verse 4]
G                                                   G
I wish a was a trapper, I would give thousand pelts

   Am                        G                     G
To sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt

       D       F      C         G     G
In the morning on the fields of green

     D        F          C     G    G
In a homeland that we've never seen
[Verse 5]
G
And maybe Marlon Brando will be there by the fire

   Am                                G
We sit and talk of Hollywood and the good things there for hire

         D         F       C        G   G
Like the Astrodome and the first teepee

       D       F   C          G   G
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me

           D       F   C          G  G
And Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
