Aurora Borealis,

The icy sky at night.

They killed us in our tepee,

they cut our women down.

crying on the ground.

Bb   F   C
and the wagons come.

on the setting sun.

Verse 3:
C
They massacred the buffalo,

kitty corner from the bank.

Taxis run across my feet,

at the top of the stairs.

With my Indian rug,
Bb  F    C
and a pipe to share.
