I [D] _ _ guess we knew the [A] cards [D] were stacked _ _ [G] _ [D] Started out the best [A] of friends
_ _ [G] And we [D] beat that highway [A] till it quit beating [D] back
_ [G] _ [D] It didn't mean much in the [A] end _ _ [G] _ [D] _ Some [A] you win, some you [D] lose, [G] some you throw away
[D] We _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [D] headed south across those Colorado [G] plains Just [D] as empty [A] as the day
We [D] _ _ _ [A] [G] looked around at all we [D] saw And _ [Bm] _ [D] all we'd [G] hoped to see
Looking [Bm] _ _ [Em] _
out through the [D] bugs on the windshield _ [G] _ _ [D] Somebody said to [A] me
_ _ [G] No [D] more Buffalo [G] Blue [B] skies are open, [G] roll
[D] No more [Bm] rodeo [Em] No more noise
[G] _ Take this Cadillac [D] Park it out [G] in back
_ [D] Mama's calling Put [A] away the [B] toys
[D] _ Don't _ _
[Bm] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ [G] [D] chase that carrot Till [A] it makes you [D] sick
_ _ [G] _ [D] What you think you're gonna [A] prove?
_ _ [G] _ [D] Just let it dangle Till [A] it falls [D] off that stick
_ [G] _ [D] That's when you make [A] your move _ _ [Bm] [A] No [E] more chasing [G] after shooting [D] stars
_ [Bm] _ [A] Trying to make [G] yourself a name You [D] _ [Bm] [A] can joust [Em] at windmills with that [G] old
fender [D] guitar _ _ [G] _ [D] Probably do about the [A] same
_ [G] _ [D] No more Buffalo [G] [A] Blue skies are [D] open, roll
[G] [D] No more [Bm] rodeo For these [A] old boys
_ [G] [D] Take my Cadillac [G] Park [A] it out in [G] back

_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] [Bm] I never thought they'd ever [A] doubt my words [D] I guess they were just too tired [A] to care
I'd [D] _ [G] [F#] point to the [D] horizon To the dust of the [G] herds
_ _ [D] Still hovering in [A] the air _ _ [G] _ _ Somebody [D] said it ain't any such
_ _ [G] [D] Man you wish so hard you're scaring [A] me _ _ [G] _ _ [D] So's the combines [A] kicking up [D] that dust
_ [G] [D] But you can see what you want [A] to see _ [D] _ _ [Bm] [Em] Go on chasing after [G] what used [D] to be there
_ [Bm] [E] Top that rise and face the [G] pain _ _ [Bm] But [A] man they [Em] were here
They [G] were here [D] I swear [G] Not [D] just these bleaching bones
[A] Stretching across the plain _ _ [G] _
No [D] more Buffalo [G] Blue [D] skies are open, [G] roll
No [D] more rodeo [Bm] For these old [A] boys _
[G] _ [D] Take my Cadillac [G] _ [A] Park it out in [G] back
[D] Mama's calling [A] Put [D] away the toys _
[G] [D] No more Buffalo _ [G] [D] Blue skies are open, roll
[G] [D] No more rock and roll [G] As we [A] all know it
