Aurora Borealis,

The icy sky at night.

Paddles cut the water,

From the white man,

They might have left some babies,

crying on the ground.

But the firesticks,

and the wagons come.
        G
And the night falls,

on the setting sun.

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

Taxis run across my feet,
       C
and my eyes have turned to blanks.
       G
And my little box,
Bb     F          C
at the top of the stairs.
        G
With my Indian rug,
Bb    F       C
and a pipe to share.

Like the Astrodome,
