[Intro 1]
[C][D][Dsus4][G][Em][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Boss said,
"Mac, [G]I need t[D]o see you
Its [C]Friday af[G]ternoon about [D]five
[C]We had[G] to make some
cut[D]s around here
Sorry[Em], Mac,
you won't [G]survive"
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]He sat there stunned in silence
[D]The [C]hard word's [G]ringing in his [D]ears
[C]Couldn't be[G]lieve all the
[D]years he'd given
Sud[Em]denly had [C]disappeared

[Verse 3]
His [C]first thought was, [G]"How do I [D]tell her
That I [C]lost my [G]job [D]today?"[Dsus4][D]
As he [C]left he felt [G]so [Dsus4]wounded
[D]And his [Em]boss just slipped [C]away

[Verse 4]
[D]He wondered where's the jus[G]tice
When I [C]gave it everything [G]I got?
[D]And driving home the[Em] fire kicked in
And the feel[C]ing sorry for
himsel[D]f just s[Dsus4]topped

[Verse 5]
[D][Chorus]
He said, "I ain't gonna [G]go
[C]the way of the buf[D]falo"
I will not [G]go quietly the [C]way
that [G]they want [C]us to be
Driven from the [Em]only [D]life we've [C]known
I [G]ain't gonna [Am]go t[D]he
way of [C]the [G]buffalo
[D][G][Em][D][C]

[Verse 6]
He held her close
[G]as he [D]told her the news
Pre[C]pared for her [G]to cry[D]
As the [C]afternoon [G]sun was go[D]ing [G]down
He saw a [Em]different look in [C]her eyes

[Verse 7]
She said, [D]"Baby you've
always been my [G]hero
So [C]hold your head up tall [G]and proud
Let them [D]take away [Em]everything we own
[C]But we ain't going [D]down

[Verse 8]
[Chorus] We ain't gonna [G]go
[C]
the way of the [D]buffalo
[C]No, we will not [D]go [G]quietly the way
that they want [C]us to be
Driven from the [Em]only [D]life we've [C]known
We ain't gonna [Am]go th[D]e way of
[C]the buf[G]falo
[D][G][Em][D][C]

[Verse 9]
As they [Bb]stood there in the darkness
She [C]reached out and took his hand
She whispered, "Re[G]member, baby,
you have [D]the blood of [Em]everyone
Who's ever had to make a [D]stand,[C]
Who's ever had to find a
brand [D]new land"

[Verse 10]
[Chorus] And We ain't gonna [D]go
[G][D]
[C]the way of the[D] buffalo
No, we will not go [G]quietly the way
that they want [C]us to be
Driven from the [Em]only [D]life we've [C]known
We ain't gonna [Am]go[G][C]
the way of the buffalo

[Verse 11]
And, [C]baby,
who [G]knows [Dsus4]what's waiting out th[G]ere?
As [Em]long as we [D]got each oth[C]er, baby,
I don't [Dsus4]care
[Em][D][C]
