Don't bother messing around with your tuning!!
**CAPO on the 3rd fret**
[Intro]
A Asus2 A Asus A
[Verse]
A
Aurora borealis
A
The icy sky at night
Bm
Paddles cut the water
A
In a long and hurried flight
E G
From the white man
D A
to the fields of green
E G
And the homeland
D A
we've never seen.
G D A

A
They killed us in our teepees
A
And they cut our women down
Bm
They might have left some babies
A
Cryin' on the ground
E G
But the firesticks
D A
and the wagons come
E G
And the night falls
D A
on the setting sun.
A
They massacred the buffalo
A
Kitty corner from the bank
Bm
The taxis run across my feet
A
And my eyes have turned to blanks
E G
In my little box
D A
at the top of the stairs
E G
With my Indian rug
D A
and a pipe to share.
A Asus2 A Asus A Asus2 A Asus A Bm A E G D A
A
I wish a was a trapper
A
I would give thousand pelts
Bm
To sleep with Pocahontas
A
And find out how she felt
E G
In the morning
D A
on the fields of green
E G
In the homeland
D A
we've never seen.
A
And maybe Marlon Brando
A
Will be there by the fire
Bm
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
A
And the good things there for hire
E G
And the Astrodome
D A
and the first teepee
E G
Marlon Brando,
D A
Pocahontas and me
E G
Marlon Brando,
D A
Pocahontas and me
E G D A
Pocahontas.
