[Intro] A [Verse 1]
                          D
One stormy day, me and my buddy

        A              E
Started on our roundup ride

             A               D
The wind and dust blew hard around us,

         A           E       A
My buddy strayed far from my side
[Chorus]
                       D
We were buddies in the saddle,

        A              E
We were buddies in our home,

        A               D
We were buddies herding cattle,

        A            E        A
We were buddies everywhere we roamed
[Instrumental] A D A E A D A E A [Verse 2]
                            D
I’ll ne’er forget the day I found him,

          A                 E
He was so weak he could not speak

              A                D
I’ll ne’er forget the smile he gave me,

         A        E     A
Then the poor boy fell asleep
[Verse 3]
                    D
I took him up in my saddle

                A               E
And carried him home across the plain

          A                D
My mother nursed him every moment

          A        E     A
To try to make him well again
[Chorus]
                       D
We were buddies in the saddle,

        A              E
We were buddies in our home,

        A               D
We were buddies herding cattle,

        A            E        A
We were buddies everywhere we roamed
[Instrumental] A D A E A D A E A [Verse 4]
                        D
I’ve never had a pal so near me,

            A              E
He took the blame for everything

            A            D
I’d die for him just any moment,

        A       E      A
And for me he’d do the same
[Verse 5]
                            D
But now by buddy’s gone and left me,

            A                 E
And it’s so hard to struggle ‘long

             A                 D
So hard to believe that he has left me,

        A            E      A
I can’t realize that he has gone
[Outro]
                       D
We were buddies in the saddle,

        A              E
We were buddies in our home,

        A               D
We were buddies herding cattle,

        A            E        A
We were buddies everywhere we roamed
