G                Bm
This Indian girl walks out into traffic
C                      D
the traffic stops then she's causing havoc and then
G                   Bm
roll up the windows dial the cellphone
C            
get the cops to get out here
D
i just want to get home

           G               Bm
She says, "do you remember buffalo?"
C                                    D                  
The dumb white people they all say, "Do you mean Neil Young Springfield?"
          G                                    Bm
She says, "No, and Cleveland isn't the home of Indians,
C                          D
not even Eskimos, it feels like you just don't want to know"

           G6      C          G        D        G6        C           G
She says, "Take me around and dance me outside, show me a place where we 
      D
might hide
G6     C     G   D            G6      C   G       D 
What I want, I'm afraid, that you can't afford to buy"

G               Bm
This Indian girl spinning like a toy top
C                                      D
Her hair spreads out like fire and its like she just can't stop
                        G
and then the cops come: Donut guard state car
Bm                             
Rolling up along the side
C                                   D
With the fire lanterns burning, the sirens opened wide and they say,
G                             Bm
"Excuse me, little miss, it's time to take this home"
C                                           D
and they try to get her address, she says, "Sorry i don't have one,
          G                            Bm
it's only me and these feeding fields, look where you are"
C                                      D
She kicks at the hem of her skirt, and on go the cars

           G6      C          G        D        G6        C           G
She says, "Take me around and dance me outside, show me a place where we 
      D
might hide
G6     C     G   D            G6      C   G       D 
What I want, I'm afraid, that you can't afford to buy"

G                Bm
This Indian girl feeling cold and tired
C                             D
wouldn't mind some help then, but the cars go by, its no wonder why
G                   Bm
all they want to do is go and get away

           G6      C          G        D        G6        C           G
She says, "Take me around and dance me outside, show me a place where we 
      D
might hide
G6     C     G   D            G6      C   G       D 
What I want, I'm afraid, that you can't afford to buy"
