Pocahontas (intro)

C

1. Aurora Borealis, the icy sky at night,

Dm C

paddles cut the water in a long and hurried flight

G - Bb F C

from the white man to the fields of green

G - Bb F C

and the homeland we've never seen

C

2. They killed us in our teepees, and they cut our women down,

Dm C

they might have left some babies cryin' on the ground,

G - Bb F C

but the fire sticks and the wagons come,

G - Bb F C

and the night falls on the settin' sun.

C

3. They massacred the buffalo, Kitty corner from the bank,

Dm C

the taxis run across my feet, and my eyes have turned to blanks,

G - Bb F C

in my little box at the top of the stairs

G - Bb F C

with my Indian rug and a pipe to share.

C

4. I wish I was a trapper, I would give a thousand pelts,

Dm C

to sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt,

G - Bb F C

in the mornin' on the fields of green,

G - Bb F C

in the homeland we've never seen.

C

5. And maybe Marlon Brando will be there by the fire,

Dm C

we'll sit and talk of Hollywood and the good things there for hire,

G - Bb F C

and the Astradome and the first tepee,

G - Bb F C

Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me.

G - Bb F C

Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me.

G - Bb - F - C

Pocahontas. (Neil Young)
