E                 Aurora Borealis, the icy sky at night

F#m7    E    Paddles cut the water in a long and hurried flight

B7   D         From the white man   

A    E          to the fields of green

B7   D         In our homeland

A    E          we'll never see.

 

E                 They killed us in our teepee. They cut our women down.

F#m7    E    They might have left some babies cryin' on the ground.

B7   D         But the fire sticks when the

A    E          wagons come

B7   D         as the night falls on the

A    E          setting sun.

 

E                 They massacred the buffalo, kitty corner from the bank.

F#m7    E    Taxis run across my feet, and my eyes have turned to blanks

B7   D         in my little box at the

A    E          top of the stairs

B7   D         With my indian rug and a

A    E          pipe to share

 

E                 I wish I was a trapper, I’d give a thousand pelts

F#m7    E    just to sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt

B7   D         in the mornin' on the

A    E          fields of green

B7   D         in our homeland we'll

A    E          never see

 

E                 Maybe Don the Con will be there by the fire

F#m7    E    We'll sit and talk about Hollywood and the good things there for hire

B7   D         Like Trump Tower and the

A    E          first TV

B7   D         Don the Con,

A    E          Pocahontas and me.

B7   D         Trump the Chump,

A    E          Pocahontas and me.

B7   D         The exterminator,

A    E          Pocahontas and me.

B7   D         Pocahontas
