Tracy Grammer - Lord Of The Buffalo





CAPO: 1st Fret



N.C.        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

                            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


                   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


                      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


                    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


                  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


                       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


               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
