Gone (The Pocahontas Song)
by Ziggy Alberts


Capo 9

The intro and first part of the verse use a modified form of these chords.
They keep the same notes on the bottom 3 strings, but the 3rd and 2nd string are always left open,
and the 1st string is always muted. For example:

   G
---3---
---2---
---0---
---0---
---0---
---x---

Intro:
G - G/F# - Em7 - C  x2
Ziggy does a lot of improv/riffing in the intro, it's different every performance.

The chords change slightly, starting at the "C" chord at "woke." Instead of leaving the second
string open, instead add the note D (third fret) for every chord.

Verse:
G                           G/F#                       Em7
And I watch as the sun goes down, another day lost for now,
                        C             G
And I wonder where you woke up this morning,
                                          G/F#                                 Em7
Cause it was just last night but oh your kiss, it was just a touch but oh your lips,
          C
She was beautiful,
G                         G/F#                               Em7
We put our hands up to the sky, screamed the lyrics loud not shy,
                            C
Then you put your hands in mine and,
 G        G/F#         Em7       C
They fit perfectly together,

For the first part of the chorus, drop the D note you added and go back to the first form of
the chords. Starting at the "G" chord at "as," add both the D note on the second string and
the G note (third fret) on the first string for every chord and continue this through the
chorus and refrain (until the G chord at "falling."

Chorus:
G                G/F#                                    Em7
She looks like pocahontas but she wears these high top sneakers,
                           C                G     G/F#       Em7     C
With a button up she’s so indie but she’s really beautiful,
G                          G/F#                     Em7
She grabbed me closer so I said hypothetically theoretically,
            C
she said nothing and well she kissed me instead,
G                    G/F#                            Em7
as the sun starts to rise and the twilight night is thin,
                       C
she kissed me for the last time & she was,

Refrain:
C                    G                                            G/F# C
gone, gone as the daylight comes & I’ll probably never see her again (x3)
C                    G                      G        G/F#             G
gone, gone as the daylight comes & I’m falling in love & I won’t pretend,


The second verse and chorus follow the exact same form and changes as the first.


Verse 2:
G                                   G/F#                                    Em7              C
it was just a fling but that’s the thing, but I don’t know if I want you to hear this song,
                            G                         G/F#                                Em7
would you sing-along would you, turn it off or turn it up, would you learn the lyrics and come
                  C            G                  G/F#            Em7    C
see me the next morning because I don’t know what I want or what you want,

but the thing is,

Chorus:
 G                G/F#                                   Em7
She looks like pocahontas but she wears these high top sneakers,
                            C              G       G/F#      Em7    C
With a button up she’s so indie but she’s really beautiful,
 G                         G/F#                    Em7
She grabbed me closer so I said hypothetically theoretically,
           C
she said nothing and well she kissed me instead,
G                    G/F#                            Em7
as the sun starts to rise and the twilight night is thin,
                       C
she kissed me for the last time & she was,

Refrain:
C                   G                                             G/F# C
gone, gone as the daylight comes & I’ll probably never see her again (x3)
C                   G                        G        G/F#             G
gone, gone as the daylight comes & I’m falling in love & I won’t pretend
