[A]
Buffalo soldier, [F#m] dreadlocked rasta.
[A] There was a buffalo soldier [F#m] in the heart of America.
[A] Stolen from Africa and [F#m] brought to [A] America.
Fighting an arrival, [F#m] fighting for [A] survival.
I mean [D] it [C#m] when I [D] analyze the [C#m] stench.
[A] To [E] me it [F#m] makes a lot of sense.
[D] [E] How the [Bm] dreadlocked [C#m] [A] [Bm]
[F#m] buffalo soldier, and [A] he was taken from Africa, [F#m] brought to [A] America.
Fighting an arrival, [F#m] fighting for [A] survival.
Said he was a buffalo soldier, [F#m] dreadlocked rasta.
[A] Buffalo soldier, [F#m] in the heart of [A] America.
[D] [A] If you knew [Bm] your [C#m] history, [A] [E] would know [F#m] where you're coming from.
[Bm] Then [A] you wouldn't [Bm] have to ask [C#m] me, [A] [E] who the heck [F#m] do I think I am.
And [A] just a buffalo soldier, [F#m] in the heart of [A] America.
Stolen from Africa, [F#m] brought to [A] America.
Said he was fighting an arrival, [F#m] fighting for [A] survival.
Said he was a buffalo soldier, [F#m] in the war for America.
[A] Said hit, Yoyoyo, Yoyoyo, Yoyoyo, [E] [A] Yoyoyo Yoyo Yoyoyo, Yoyoyo [E] Yoyoyo, [A] [F#m] Yoyoyo Yoyoyo Yoyo Yoyo Yoyoyo.
Buffalo soldier, drive [D] him to the land.
[A] [C#m] [F#m] And make him want to head right [D] into the land.
[A] [E] Eddie [A] was a buffalo soldier [F#m] in the war for [A] America.
Buffalo soldier, [F#m] dreadlocked [A] rasta, fighting under rival, [F#m] fighting for [A] survival.
Driven from the mainland to [F#m] the heart [A] of the Caribbean.

Riding through San Juan, [D] in the arms of [A]
America,
God is good, Jamaica, [F#m] the Buffalo [A] Soldier,
Fighting on arrival, [F#m] fighting for [A] survival,
Buffalo Soldier, [F#m] dreadlocked [A] rasta.
Woy-oy-oy, woy-oy-oy-oy, woy-oy-oy-oy [E]-oy-oy [A]-oy-oy.
