Cthe traffic stops then Dshe's causing havoc and then
Groll up the windows Bmdial the cellphone
Cget the cops to get out here
Di just want to get home
She says, "Gdo you remember Bmbuffalo?"
CThe dumb white people they all say, "DDo you mean Neil Young Springfield?"
She says, G"No, and Cleveland isn't the home of BmIndians,
Cnot even Eskimos, it feels Dlike you just don't want to know"
She says, "G6Take me Caround and Gdance me Doutside, G6show me a Cplace where Gwe

G6What I Cwant, GI'm Dafraid, that G6you can'Ct afGford to Dbuy"
GThis Indian girl Bmspinning like a toy top
CHer hair spreads out like fire and its Dlike she just can't stop
and then the cops come: GDonut guard state car
BmRolling up along the side
CWith the fire lanterns burning, the Dsirens opened wide and they say,
G"Excuse me, little miss, it's Bmtime to take this home"
Cand they try to get her address, she says, "DSorry i don't have one,
it's only Gme and these feeding fields, Bmlook where you are"
CShe kicks at the hem of her skirt, and Don go the cars
She says, "G6Take me Caround and Gdance me Doutside, G6show me a Cplace where Gwe 
might Dhide
G6What I Cwant, GI'm Dafraid, that G6you can'Ct afGford to Dbuy"
GThis Indian girl Bmfeeling cold and tired
Cwouldn't mind some help then, Dbut the cars go by, its no wonder why
Gall they want to do Bmis go and get away
She says, "G6Take me Caround and Gdance me Doutside, G6show me a Cplace where Gwe
