Lord Of The Buffalo by Jim Henry
Lord Of The Buffalo
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
[Verse 1]
G C
Once upon a world long gone
G
In the shelter of an early dawn
D
They were half a million strong
C G D
Made the valley rumble
[Verse 2]
G C
Come the hunters with their rifle balls
G
He heard the fury of his daddy's fall
D
Ran crying to his mama's call
C G D
Saw her break and stumble
[Verse 3]
G C
So he ran with the swift and young
G
From the hunters and their hungry guns
D
Ran until he was the only one
C G D
On the silent prairie
[Verse 4]
G C
See him wandering the hills alone
G
Always looking for that haven home
D
And the father of his father's own
C G
And a sanctuary
[Chorus]
Em C
There's an endless plain
G
Beyond the curtain of the pouring rain
D
Where the golden prairie rolls forever
G
And the tall grass grows
C
Bitter wind blowing high and wild
G G/F# Em
Have mercy on your wayward child
D
In search of an age ago
C G D
And the lord of the buffalo
[Verse 5]
G C
Grey Eagle left the blue-eyed town
G
Climbed the mountain where he once looked down
D
Saw the worry in the furrowed ground
C G D
And the heart ploughed under
[Verse 6]
G C
Woke walking in a dream one night
G
Saw a vision by the foxfire light
D
Mighty horns and a coat of white
C G
And a voice like thunder
[Chorus]
Em C
There's an endless plain
G
Beyond the curtain of the pouring rain
D
Where the golden prairie rolls forever
G
And the tall grass grows
C
Bitter wind blowing high and wild
G G/F# Em
Go easy, little wayward child
D
There's a home for the restless soul
C G D
Said the lord of the buffalo
[Instrumental]
G Em C G D G C G G/F# Em D C G D
[Verse 7]
G C
Last night I heard the coyote wail
G
Slipped away from the white man's jail
D
Went running down the trickster trail
C G D
With the moon behind me
[Verse 8]
G C
In the hills before sunrise
G
Saw his silhouette against the sky
D
I'll be running 'til the day I die
C G
Or the hunters find me
[Chorus]
Em C
There's an endless plain
G
Beyond the curtain of the pouring rain
D
Where the golden prairie rolls forever
G
And the tall grass grows
C
Bitter wind blowing high and wild
G G/F# Em
Gather up your little wayward child
D
So the saint and the sinner go
C G
To the lord of the buffalo
D
So the saint and the sinner go
C G
To the lord of the buffalo
D
So the saint and the sinner go
C G
To the lord of the buffalo
