Ian Tyson - Old Double Diamond

      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.......
