[C]
Aurora borealis, the icy sky at night, [Dm] paddles cut through water [C] in a long and hurried flight.
From [G] the white man [Bb]
to [F] the [C] fields of green, [G] and the homeland [Bb]
[F] we've [C] never seen.
They killed us in our teepee, and they cut our women down.
[Dm] They might have left some babies [C] crying on the ground.
[G] But the fire [Bb] stills, [F] and the [C] wagon's come, [G] and the night [Bb] falls [F] on the setting [C] sun.
They massacred the buffalo, pitty corner from the bank.
[Dm] The taxis run across my feet, [C] and my eyes have turned to blanks.
And [G] my little boss [Bb] [F] at the [C] top of the stairs, with [G] my Indian [Bb] rug [F] and a pipe [C] to share.
I
[Dm]
[C]
[G]
[Bb] [F] [C]
wish I was a trapper.
I would give a thousand pelts [Dm] to sleep with old Kahannes,
[C] and find out how she felt [G] in the morning.
[Bb] [F] On the [C] fields of green, in [G] the homeland [Bb] [F] we've [C] never seen.
And maybe Marlon Brando will be there by the fire,
[Dm] who'll sit and talk of Hollywood, [C] and the good things there for hire,
[G] and the Astrodome, [Bb] [F] and the [C] first teepee.
[G] Marlon Brando, [Bb] [F] old [C] Kahannes and me.
[G] Marlon [Bb] Brando, old [F] [C] Kahannes and me.
Old [G]
[Bb] Kahannes.
[F] [C]
