Aurora borealis

The icy sky at night

In a long and hurried flight

From the white man

And the homeland

we've never seen.

A
They killed us in our teepees
A
And they cut our women down
Bm
They might have left some babies
A
Cryin' on the ground
E G
But the firesticks
D A
and the wagons come
E G
And the night falls
D A
on the setting sun.
A
They massacred the buffalo
A
Kitty corner from the bank
Bm
The taxis run across my feet
A
And my eyes have turned to blanks
E G
In my little box
D A
at the top of the stairs
E G
With my Indian rug
D A
and a pipe to share.

A
I wish a was a trapper
A
I would give thousand pelts
Bm
To sleep with Pocahontas
A
And find out how she felt
E G
In the morning
D A
on the fields of green
E G
In the homeland
D A
we've never seen.
A
And maybe Marlon Brando
A
Will be there by the fire
Bm
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
A
And the good things there for hire
E G
And the Astrodome
D A
and the first teepee
E G
Marlon Brando,
D A
Pocahontas and me
E G
Marlon Brando,
D A
Pocahontas and me
E G D A
Pocahontas.
