Buffalo 03:45
lyrics

BUFFALO Kevin Mitchell D We were kids my brother and me Bm Running with the tumbleweeds G On a farm , out of town A Bm Now it's sold and all torn down Down the road some buffalo Roamed the plains like long ago The cars would stop and read the sign Of a place and a time that they roamed G D A Ch: When I die I will go back with the Buffalo G Bm A G A Shadows on a sea of grass disappear into the past I must have been about nine or ten Across the road just watching them Prairie sky laughing down at us Prairie ground turning to dust I would lay awake at night Dreaming of that awesome sight Hooves pounding like a hurricane Through winter snow and the summer rain Chorus: The white man came and took their hides Left their bodies where they lie the prairie sky must have wept a tear When she looked down and they all disappeared
