Now the old Double Diamond, lay out east of Duboise
F G
In the land ........ of the buffalo
C Am
And the auctioneers gavel, how it rapped and it rattled
F G
As I watched the old Double Diamond go
C Am
Won't you listen to the wind
F G
Mother natures Vio lin
C Am
When I first hired on, to the old Double Diamond
F G
I was a damn poor excuse for a man
C Am
Never learned how to aim, when the spirit was tame
F G
Couldn't see all the cards in my hand
C Am
And the wind whipped the granite above me
F G
Blew the tumble weeds clean through my soul
C Am
Well I've fought her winters and I've busted her horses
F G
And I took more than I thought I could stand
C Am
But the battles with the mountains and cattle
F G
Seem to bring out the best in a man
C Am
I guess a sailor, he needs an ocean
F G
And a mama her babies to hold
C Am
But I need the hills of Wyoming
F G
In the land ......... of the buffalo
C Am
Now shes sellin out, and I'm movin on
F G
But I'm leavin with more than I came
C Am
Cause I've got my saddle and it ain't for sale
F G
And I've got this song to sing
C Am
Got to find new range to ride and new knots to tie
F G
In a country where cowboys are king
C Am
I turn my tail to the wind, and the old Double Diamond
F G C
Disappears in to the sage.......
