Buffalo Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Two moons and a raging river
Saddled up by the piñon on fire
[D]Drove out to the edge of the pueblo
Bought a drum from a man who cried
[C]And the children's show
is on the ceiling
And the way that you hold my hand
[G]And I yelled and I didn't
know the reason
But I knew that you'd understand

[Verse 2]
Two weeks just to catch the [G]buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
[D]Some things take time, I know they do
Some things take time, I know they do
[C]I hope our time will never go
I hope our time will never go
[G]Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo

[Verse 3]
Will we go like the woolly [G]mammoth?
Or the dear dodo?
[D]Gone like the
Bachman's warbler
Disappeared like the melting snow
[C]Little Mariana fruit bats
Or the bridled white-eye bird
[G]bird
Or will we keep on running
Like the sound of the buffalo herd?
That Sky Redhawk recorded
Out on his cousin's farm
[D]Up north in Minnesota
He tied the recorder in the yard
[C]Up to a gatepost waiting
Slept out in a tent to hear
[G]The rumble of the big stampede
That one day magically appeared

[Verse 4]
Two weeks just to catch the [G]buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
[D]Some things take time, I know they do
Some things take time, I know they do
[C]I hope our time will never go
I hope our time will never go
[G]Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to [C]catch the [G]buffalo

[Verse 5]
And I want us to be like [G]that
Running wild and running free
[D]This year tried to kill us, baby
Well, good luck trying, you can't catch me
[C]And I'll jump off this cliff with you
If that means we will survive
[G]'Cause we drove out to the desert
Just to leave the past behind
And our footsteps fall in shadows
Treading light down the canyon trail
[D]And the sun is barely rising
And the stars, like a wedding veil
[C]And I cannot lie to you
'Cause you can read my mind
[G]So I think I'll try with you
Some things just take more time

[Verse 6]
Two weeks just to catch the [G]buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
[D]Some things take time
(I know they do)
Some things take time
[C](I know they do)
And I hope our time will never go
I hope our time will never go
[G]Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
[D]Some things take time
(I know they do)
Some things take time [C](I know they do)
And I hope our time will never go
I hope our time will never go
[G]Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
