Pocahontas Chords & Tabs

by Neil Young

[Intro]
D  (Dsus2)  D  x4
[Verse 1]
D              
Aurora Borealis

The icy sky at night
Em                   
Paddles cut the water
     D                      
In a long and hurried flight
         A         C       G         D    
From the white man  to the fields of green
        A        C      G     D   
and the homeland  we've never seen

[Verse 2]
D                            
They killed us in our teepees
And they cut our women down
     Em                         
They might have left some babies
D                   
Cryin' on the ground
        A         C         G      D   
But the firesticks  and the wagons come
        A          C        G       D  
And the night falls  on the settin' sun

[Verse 3]
D                         
They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
    Em                      
The taxis run across my feet
       D                         
And my eyes have turned to blanks
      A         C        G          D     
In my little box  at the top of the stairs
        A         C       G       D    
With my indian rug  and a pipe to share

[Break]
D
D
Em                    D
A       C       G     D

[Verse 4]
D                     
I wish I was a trapper
I would give a thousand pelts
   Em                   
To sleep with Pocahontas
    D                    
and find out how she felt
       A      C       G         D    
In the mornin' on the fields of green
       A        C      G     D   
In the homeland  we've never seen


[Verse 5]
D                      
And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
      Em                       
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
        D                         
And the good things there for hire
        A         C        G        D  
And the Astrodome  and the first teepee
       A      C     G          D 
Marlon Brando,  Pocahontas and me
       A      C     G          D 
Marlon Brando,  Pocahontas and me
