G5                B5
This Indian girl walks out into traffic
C5                      D5
the traffic stops then she's causing havoc and then
G5                   B5
roll up the windows dial the cellphone
C5            
get the cops to get out here
D5
i just want to get home


           G5               B5
She says, "do you remember buffalo?"
C5                                    D5                  
The dumb white people they all say, "Do you mean Neil Young Springfield?"
          G5                                    B5
She says, "No, and Cleveland isn't the home of Indians,
C5                          D5
not even Eskimos, it feels like you just don't want to know"


           G5      C5          G5        D5        G5        C5           G5
She says, "Take me around and dance me outside, show me a place where we 
      D5
might hide
G5     C5     G5   D5            G5      C5   G5       D5 
What I want, I'm afraid, that you can't afford to buy"


G5               B5
This Indian girl spinning like a toy top
C5                                      D5
Her hair spreads out like fire and its like she just can't stop
                        G5
and then the cops come: Donut guard state car
B5                             
Rolling up along the side
C5                                   D5
With the fire lanterns burning, the sirens opened wide and they say,
G5                             B5
"Excuse me, little miss, it's time to take this home"
C5                                           D5
and they try to get her address, she says, "Sorry i don't have one,
          G5                            B5
it's only me and these feeding fields, look where you are"
C5                                      D5
She kicks at the hem of her skirt, and on go the cars


           G5      C5          G5        D5        G5        C5           G5
She says, "Take me around and dance me outside, show me a place where we 
      D5
might hide
G5     C5     G5   D5            G5      C5   G5       D5 
What I want, I'm afraid, that you can't afford to buy"


G5                B5
This Indian girl feeling cold and tired
C5                             D5
wouldn't mind some help then, but the cars go by, its no wonder why
G5                   B5
all they want to do is go and get away


           G5      C5          G5        D5        G5        C5           G5
She says, "Take me around and dance me outside, show me a place where we 
      D5
might hide
G5     C5     G5   D5            G5      C5   G5       D5 
What I want, I'm afraid, that you can't afford to buy"
