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)

        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

Instrumental:
  A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Add9 A Aadd9
  Bm Bmadd4 Bm Bmadd4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 Asus4
  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

    E7     G   D/F#   A
