Verse:
C G F G C
I'm going to sing a song about a man who I have met
C G
He lives alone in a quiet town
F G
His face I'll never forget
F C
And every line that marks his face
G F
Is not from age I'm sure
F
It's from aiming through a 308
G
As in his saddle he sits tall
C F G
And will the real Buffalo Bill please stand
C F C G
Holding a beer and a gun in each hand
C F C G
Those bright blue eyes give away more then he knows

When they sparkle as his story tells of chasing buffalo
F G C C/B Am G F G CFC
And if I were born fifty years ago
Verse:
C G
He'd laugh and grin with his mates
F G C
But do they really understand
C G
About the days back then those buffalo
F G
And catching them by hand
F C
That, life of his, a wife and kids

And too much rum don't go

For a man, a father, a ringer, A charmer

And a life with buffalo

And will the real Buffalo Bill please stand

Those bright blue eyes give away more then he knows

And I'm glad I met the man who lives in Camoweal today

To sing this song and carry on his life of yesterday
