A 
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

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 

    E7     G   D/F#   A
