[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.

[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.

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..
