CNow the old Double Diamond, lay Amout east of Duboise
In the land F........ of the Gbuffalo
And the Cauctioneers gavel, how it rapped and it Amrattled
As I watched the old FDouble Diamond Ggo
Won't you Clisten to the Amwind
Mother natures FVio Glin
When CI first hired on, to Amthe old Double Diamond
I was a damn poor Fexcuse for a Gman
Never Clearned how to aim, when the spirit Amwas tame
Couldn't see all Fthe cards in my Ghand
And the Cwind whipped the granite Amabove me
Blew the tumble weeds Fclean through my Gsoul
Well CI've fought her winters and I've Ambusted her horses
And I took more Fthan I thought I could Gstand
But Cthe battles with the mountains and Amcattle
Seem to bring out Fthe best in a Gman
I guess Ca sailor, he needs an Amocean
And a mama Fher babies to Ghold
But CI need the hills of AmWyoming
In the land F......... of the Gbuffalo
Now Cshes sellin out, and AmI'm movin on
But I'm leavin Fwith more than I Gcame
Cause CI've got my saddle and it ain't for Amsale
And I've got this Fsong to Gsing
Got Cto find new range to ride and Amnew knots to tie
In a country Fwhere cowboys are Gking
I turn Cmy tail to the wind, and the oAmld Double Diamond
Disappears in Fto the Gsage.......C

C Am

Now the old Double Diamond, lay out east of Duboise

F G

In the land ........ of the buffalo

C Am

And the auctioneers gavel, how it rapped and it rattled

F G

As I watched the old Double Diamond go

C Am

Won't you listen to the wind

F G

Mother natures Vio lin

C Am

When I first hired on, to the old Double Diamond

F G

I was a damn poor excuse for a man

C Am

Never learned how to aim, when the spirit was tame

F G

Couldn't see all the cards in my hand

C Am

And the wind whipped the granite above me

F G

Blew the tumble weeds clean through my soul

C Am

Well I've fought her winters and I've busted her horses

F G

And I took more than I thought I could stand

C Am

But the battles with the mountains and cattle

F G

Seem to bring out the best in a man

C Am

I guess a sailor, he needs an ocean

F G

And a mama her babies to hold

C Am

But I need the hills of Wyoming

F G

In the land ......... of the buffalo

C Am

Now shes sellin out, and I'm movin on

F G

But I'm leavin with more than I came

C Am

Cause I've got my saddle and it ain't for sale

F G

And I've got this song to sing

C Am

Got to find new range to ride and new knots to tie

F G

In a country where cowboys are king

C Am

I turn my tail to the wind, and the old Double Diamond

F G C

Disappears in to the sage.......
