Now [E] the old [B] double diamond lay [C#m] out east of Dubois [A] in the land of the buffalo
[B] And _ _ _ _ [Em] the _ [B] auctioneers gavel how [C#m] it rapped and it rattled _ [A] as I watched the old double diamond [B] go _ _
_ _ [G#m] Won't you listen _ to [C#m] the womb of _ [A] mother _ _ nature's _ [B] violin _
[A] When _ _ [G#m] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] I first [B] pierced on [C#m] the old double diamond [E] I was [A] a damn poor excuse for a [B]
man
I _ [C#] [B] never [E]
learned [B] how to aim [C#m] when the spirit was tame, _ _ [A] couldn't see all the cards in [B] my hand
_ _ [G#m] And the wind _ whipped the granite [C#m]
above me, _ _ blew [A] the _ tumbleweeds clean through my [B] _ soul
[A] _ _
[G#m] Well _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ I [B] fought her winners [C#] and [C#m] I busted her horses and [A] I took more than I thought I [B] could stand
But _ _ [E] the battles with [B] the mountains and [C#m] cattle seemed _ [A] to bring out the best [B] in a man
I guess [G#m] a sailor _ he [C#m] needs an ocean and _ [A] a mama her baby's [B] too old
[D#] And [B] _ [E] I need [B] the hills of [C#m] Wyoming in _
_ [A] the land of the buffalo

_ [E] Now [B] she's sailing out, [C#m] _ I'm moving on, [A] but I'm leaving with more than [B] I can
_ Cause [C#] _
[D#m] _ [Em] I've got [B] this saddle and [C#m] it ain't for sale, _ _ [A] and I've got this song [B] to sing
I'll _ [G#m] find a new range to ride, [C#m] and new knots to tie, _ [A] in a country where cowboys [B] are king
_ I'll [E] turn my tail to [B] the wind and [C#m] the old double diamond will _ [A] disappear _ into the [B] sage
