Chris LeDoux – The Buffalo Grass (Guitar)

G                           C           G
It's been 45 days since the snows have begun

  G                      D
I stare at the fire and long for the sun

 C                                    G            C
As the bitter winds blow through the mouth of the pass

 G                D         C
I sit here and dream of the Buffalo Grass

 G                             C               G
The ponies are shaggy, their coats have grown long

 G                                    D
With their heads down they huddle together as one

 C                               G            C
At the window my breath forms a mist on the glass

G                             D       C
As I patiently wait for the Buffalo Grass

 C                               D              G
The seasons still turn and the prairies still yearn

 G                            D
For those who were here long ago

   C                              G         C
The Sioux have all gone and the bison moved on

 G                           D
And soon I will follow them home

   G                            C       G
Molly passed in September and left me alone

   G                           D
Now my heart is as heavy and round as a stone

  C                  G          C
Too many years have gone by too fast

 G                             D        C
And I long for the feel of the Buffalo Grass

G                              C              G
Now the animals sleep as the world holds its breath

 G                          D
The woods are as still and silent as death

  C                                         G         C
When the mountain streams flow spring will follow at last

 G                                          D     C
And the wind will blow free through the Buffalo Grass

  C                               D              G
The seasons still turn and the prairies still yearn

 G                            D
For those who were here long ago

 C                                G         C
The Sioux have all gone and the bison moved on

  G                         D
And soon I will follow them home

 G                             C      G
The geese will return as a symbol of change

 G                        D
The elk will be foraging out on the range

  C                             G           C
Once again nature's pallet will color the pass

   G                            D       C
And I will find peace in the Buffalo Grass

    G                           D      C
Yes I will find peace in the Buffalo Grass
