C Aurora Borealis C The icy sky at night Dm Paddles cut the water Dm In a long and hurried flight G7 riff C From the white man to the fields of green G7 riff C and the homeland we've never seen
C strumming accenting on bottom strings
They killed us in our teepees And they cut our women down They might have left some babies Cryin' on the ground But the firesticks and the wagons come And the night falls on the settin' sun
CCDmG7 riff C
They massacred the buffalo Kitty corner from the bank The taxis run across my feet And my eyes have turned to blanks In my little box at the top of the stairs With my indian rug and a pipe to share
I wish I was a trapper I would give a thousand pelts To sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt In the mornin' on the fields of green In the homeland we've never seen
C
And maybe Marlon Brando Will be there by the fire We'll sit and talk of Hollywood And the good things there for hire And the Astradome and the first teepee Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
G7 Riff C Pocahontas
Open C tuning
E ---- E B upto C G ---- G D down C A down G E down C
Tab memo: The riff is more strummed than picked as it replaces the chord. Make sure you get that open C note at the of the riff. At first it is a bit difficult to sing at the same time but you get the hang of it. There is some lead picking in between the verses which is pretty easy to work out if you play along with the record. There are mistakes in there and what I call a G7 or a Dm isn't a sure thing all I know is that it works, some one could correct me on these things it would be greatly appreciated. Another great song from Mr Young.
