[Bb]
Way out on the windswept desert, where nature [Gb] favors [F] all men, [E] [F] Buffalo found his brother
[E] [F] dressed [Eb] under [Bb] some baked sand.
He said, my brother, what ails you?
A sickness got you [Fm] this way.
His brother [F] never said, cause his brother was dead.
He's been dead since the way [Bb] last made.
How did he lose his [F] [Bb] sleep?

Chief Buffalo Necker, [Dm] a mighty man in [F] his day,
Never once used a [Fm] sickle to clear [Bb] the bushes away.
He'd go around tent to tent, see everything [F] in sight.
He loved to squawk everyone he saw.
He loved to hear one [Bb] every night.
A-hoody loody, [F] a-hoody loody.

Blah, blah, [Eb] blah, [Bb] blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Way out on the windswept desert, I heard a ninja [F] move.
I left my tent, I knew what it meant, and I swore I'd never [Bb] more roam.
It was dawn when I reached Saint Pete.
My [Gb] legs were shaking, [F] me soul.
I must have lost fifty pounds on that hot desert ground, and I'd lose that [Bb] many more.
A-hoody loody, [Dm] a-hoody loody.
