[INTRO]
1 2 & 3 &4
[C C6 C ] X4 with swing feel
[VERSE]
C
Aurora Borealis
C
The icy sky at night
Dm
Paddles cut the water
C
In a long and hurried flight
G7 [Bb F] C
From the white man to the fields of green
G7 [Bb F] C
and the homeland we've never seen
[VERSE]
C
They killed us in our teepee
C
And they cut our women down
Dm
They might have left some babies
C
Cryin' on the ground
G7 [Bb F] C
But the firesticks and the wagons come
G7 [Bb F] C
And the night falls on the settin' sun
[VERSE]
C
They massacred the buffalo
C
Kitty corner from the bank
Dm
The taxis run across my feet
C
And my eyes have turned to blanks
G7 [Bb F] C
In my little box at the top of the stairs
G7 [Bb F] C
With my indian rug and a pipe to share
[INSTRUMENTALS to VERSE]
C C Dm Dm C G7 Bb F C G7 Bb F C
[VERSE]
C
I wish I was a trapper
C
I would give a thousand pelts
Dm
To sleep with Pocohontas
C
and find out how she felt
G7 [Bb F] C
In the mornin' on the fields of green
G7 [Bb F] C
In the homeland we've never seen
[VERSE]
C
And maybe Marlon Brando
C
Will be there by the fire
Dm
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
C
And the good things there for hire
G7 [Bb F] C
And the Astradome and the first teepee
G7 [Bb F] C
Marlon Brando, Pocohontas and me
[OUTRO]
G7 [Bb F] C
Marlon Brando, Pocohontas and me
G7 [Bb F] C
Pocohontas
Note: Alternating C with C6 and Dm with Dsus2 in first part of verses is fun.
