    Aurora borealis, the icy sky at night, 
      D                                      A 
    paddles cut the water in a long and hurried flight, 
                      E             G            D             A 
    from the white man       to the fields of green, 
               E                  G             D        A 
    in the homeland          we've never seen.

   They killed us in our tepee, they cut our women down, 
              D                                            A 
    they might have left some babies cryin' on the ground, 
                  E             G                 D          A 
    but the firesticks        and the wagons come, 
                   E               G             D         A 
    and the night falls        on the setting sun.

    They massacred the buffalo, Kitty corner from the bank, 
      D                                                A 
    taxis run across my feet and my eyes have turned to blanks, 
              E               G            D               A 
    in my little box         at the top of the stairs, 
                   E                G            D            A 
    with my Indian rug        and a pipe to share.

    I wish I was a trapper, I would give a thousand pelts 
           D                                       A 
    to sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt, 
                 E           G              D             A 
    in the mornin'          on the fields of green, 
                E               G             D        A 
    in the homeland        we've never seen.

    And maybe Marlon Brando will be there by the fire,

    we'll sit and talk about Hollywood and the good things there for hire, 
                      E             G                D       A 
    like the Astrodome        and the first tepee, 
                    E           G             D                A 
    Marlon Brando,           Pocahontas and me,

    Pocahontas.
