Everclear - Pocohontas guitar tab
Pocohontas : Neil Young cover
(From the SMFTA single and Everything to Everyone College EP)
Tabbed by Jason Pan (balaka@cyberspace.net.au)
The intro is a G chord muted
G (muted)
Aurora Borealis
G (muted)
The icy sky at night
A (muted)
Paddles break the water
G (muted)
In a long and hurried flight
D C A G
From the white man to the fields of green
D C A G
and the homeland we've never seen
(same chord progression for each verse, except without muting)
They killed us in our teepee
They cut our women down
They might have left some baby
Cryin' on the ground
But the big guns and the wagons wheels come
Yeah, and the night falls on the setting sun
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 an Indian rug and a pipe to share

I wish I was a trapper
I would give a thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocohontas
and find out how she felt
In the morning on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen
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, Pocohontas and me
Marlon Brando, Pocohontas and me
Pocohontas
