Aurora Borealis, the icy sky at night
Bm7 A
Paddles cut the water in a long and hurried flight
E7 G D/F# A (see tab)
From the white man to the fields of green
E7 G D/F# A
And the homeland we've never seen
They killed us in our teepee, and they cut our women down
They might have left some babies cryin' on the ground
But the firesticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the settin' sun
They massacred the buffalo, kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet, and my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my indian rug and a pipe to share

E7 E G D/F# A (as tab)
I wish I was a trapper, I would give a thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt
In the mornin' on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen
And maybe Marlon Brando will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood and the good things there for hire
And the Astradome and the first teepee
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
