C

Aurora Borealis

C

The icy sky at night

Dm

Paddles cut the water

C

In a long and huried fight

G Bb F C

From the white man to the fields of green

G Bb F C

And the homeland weve never seen

C Dm C

They killed us in our teepees

They cut our women down

They mightve left some babies

Cryin on the ground

But the firesticks and the wagons come

And the night falls on the settin sun

C C Dm C G Bb F C

They massacred the buffalo

Kitty corner from the bank

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

C C Dm C G Bb F C

I wish I was a trapper

I would give a thousand pelts

To sleep with Pochahontas

And fight out how she felt

In the mornin on the fields of green

In the homeland weve never seen

C

And maybe Marlon Brando

Will be there by the fire

Well sit and talk about Hollywood

And the good things there for hire

Like the Astrodome and the first teepee

Marlon Brando Pochahontas and me

Marlon Brando Pochahontas and me

(G) Bb F C

Pochahontas

Personally, I like this song in the key of A, capoing to the second fret,playing G. But in or der to call it a Johnny Cash song, you have to do it

exactly the way he did it. This is a Johnny Cash song. Neil Young wrote it, but

once Johnny sang it, it became his(Johnny's)song. Nobody could ever do a better

job at it.
