[Intro] D5 A5 F#5 [Verse 1]
D5     A5
Buffalo once roamed

E5
The great expanse of our country

D5            A5          E5
Now they stand in the sandbox in the corner of the city
[Pre-Chorus]
D5         A5             F#5
We had our picnics in the park, watching the bison mope

D5               A5
Once a proud and noble beast

E5
Now the butt of our bad jokes
[Chorus]
B5         A5  B5 A5  B5
You saw me off at the station

D5                    C5 D5 C5 D5
In your leopard print coat and hat

A5               G5 A5  G5 A5
It was a cliché, we had to laugh

E5
Waving at me as I left

B5               A5 B5 A5 B5
But the laughter made us sadder

D5               C5 D5 C5   D5
Than the leaving could have had

A5   G5 A5 G5 A5
In a flash I cried

E5                         E5 D5 E5 D5 E5 D5 E5
Oh, goodbye, girl of mine
[Interlude] D5 A5 D5 F#5 [Verse 2]
                     D5
When it came time for me to go

A5         E5
The buffalo had the last laugh

D5        A5
Waiting at the gate

E5
They sneered, they strut, they prance
[Pre-Chorus]
D5         A5              F#5
How did I know I thought a thing like that?

                 D5
A fling was only fleeting

      A5             E5
An instant in the distant past

                         B5
Made to end, not made to last
[Chorus]
B5         A5  B5 A5  B5
You saw me off at the station

D5                    C5 D5 C5 D5
In your leopard print coat and hat

A5               G5 A5  G5 A5
It was a cliché, we had to laugh

E5
Waving at me as I left

B5               A5 B5 A5 B5
But the laughter made us sadder

D5               C5 D5 C5   D5
Than the leaving could have had

A5   G5 A5 G5 A5
In a flash I cried

E5
Oh, goodbye, girl of mine
[Outro]
B5
What a time, a time to remember

D5
Something that good can't last forever

A5                     E5
But now I wonder if it might have after all

       B5
As the train pulled away, it hit me

D5
What I really would be missing

A5
Leaving was not as bitter or sweet

E5
As laughter could be
