Buffalo Bill 
CAPO 1
INTRO:    C     F    C     G     F     GCFC
VERSE:
CI'm going to sing a Gsong about a Fman who GI have Cmet
CHe lives alone in a quGiet town
His fFace I'll never forGget
And Fevery line that Cmarks his face
Is Gnot from age I'm Fsure
It's from Faiming through a 308
As in his saddle he sits Gtall
CHORUS:
And will the rCeal Buffalo FBill please Gstand
CHolding a Fbeer and a Cgun in each Ghand
Those Cbright blue Feyes give away Cmore then he Gknows
When they Csparkle as his Fstory tells of Cchasing Gbuffalo
             F           G   C    C/B    Am    G    F    GCFC
And if I were born fifty years ago
VERSE:
CHe'd laugh and grin Gwith his mates
But do they Freally GunderCstand
About the Cdays back then those Gbuffalo
And Fcatching them by Ghand
That, Flife of his, a Cwife and kids
And Gtoo much rum don't Fgo
For a Fman, a father, a ringer, A charmer
And a life with Gbuffalo
CHORUS:
And will the rCeal Buffalo FBill please Gstand
(He was) CHolding a Fbeer and a Cgun in each Ghand
Those Cbright blue Feyes give away Cmore then he Gknows
When they Csparkle as his Fstory tells of Cchasing Gbuffalo
             F           G   C    C/B    Am    G    F    GCFC
And if I were born fifty years ago
VERSE:
Well the Cbreaker he now no Glonger rides
Or Frisks a Gwild stamCpede
He just Cdreams about those Gdays long gone 
And life of Fdanger he is Gfree
And I'm Fglad I met the Cman who lives in GCamoweal tFoday
To Fsing this song and carry on his life of Gyesterday
CHORUS:
And the rCeal Buffalo FBill did Gstand
He was Cholding a Fbeer and a Cgun in each Ghand
And in fCifty years just Flook up high
And Ccatch a glimpse of Ghorse
CFace to face with those Fbuffalo
Saying, C"She'll be right of Gcourse"
And if FI were Gborn fifty CyC/Bears AmagoG  
I Fwouldn't like to Gbe a buffaClo  C/BNo   AmNoG  
             F           G   C    C/B    Am    F    GCFC
And if I were born fifty years ago
