Old Double Diamond chords by Ian Tyson

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

C majorC                A minorAm
Now the old Double Diamond, lay out east of Duboise
      FF        G+G
In the land ........ of the buffalo
    C majorC                    A minorAm
And the auctioneers gavel, how it rapped and it rattled
           FF       G+G
As I watched the old Double Diamond go

     C majorC       A minorAm
Won't you listen to the wind
        FF  G+G
Mother natures Vio lin

   C majorC          A minorAm
When I first hired on, to the old Double Diamond
         FF      G+G
I was a damn poor excuse for a man
   C majorC                  A minorAm
Never learned how to aim, when the spirit was tame
         FF        G+G
Couldn't see all the cards in my hand

    C majorC            A minorAm
And the wind whipped the granite above me
           FF        G+G
Blew the tumble weeds clean through my soul

   C majorC                A minorAm
Well I've fought her winters and I've busted her horses
        FF           G+G
And I took more than I thought I could stand
  C majorC                 A minorAm
But the battles with the mountains and cattle
         FF       G+G
Seem to bring out the best in a man

    C majorC           A minorAm
I guess a sailor, he needs an ocean
      FF       G+G
And a mama her babies to hold
  C majorC          A minorAm
But I need the hills of Wyoming
      FF        G+G
In the land ......... of the buffalo

  C majorC          A minorAm
Now shes sellin out, and I'm movin on
        FF        G+G
But I'm leavin with more than I came
   C majorC                  A minorAm
Cause I've got my saddle and it ain't for sale
         FF    G+G
And I've got this song to sing

  C majorC               A minorAm
Got to find new range to ride and new knots to tie
       FF         G+G
In a country where cowboys are king
    C majorC               A minorAm
I turn my tail to the wind, and the old Double Diamond
       FF   G+G      C majorC
