[Verse 1]
D A
The ol' Double Diamond
B A
Lay out east of Dubois
G A
In the land of the buffalo
D A
And the auctioneer’s gavel
B A
It rapped and it rattled
G A
As I watched the ol' Double Diamond go
[Refrain]
F B
And won't you listen to the wind
G A
Mother Nature's violin
G D A D
[Verse 2]
D A
When I first hired on
B A
At the ol' Double Diamond
G A
I was a damn poor excuse for a man
D A
I never learned how to aim
G A
While my spirt was tame
G A
I didn't know all the cards in my hand
[Refrain]
F B
And the wind whipped the granite above me
G A
And blew the tumbleweeds clean through my soul
G D A D
[Verse 3]
D A
Well, I fought her winters
B A
And I busted her horses
G A
I took more than I thought I could stand
D A B
But the battles with the mountains and cattle
G A
Can bring out the best in a man
[Refrain]
F B
I guess a sailor needs an ocean
G A
And a mama her babies to hold
D A B A
But I need the plains of Wyoming
G A
In the land of the buffalo
G D A D
[Verse 4]
D A
But now she's sellin' out
B A
And I'm movin' on
G A
But I'm leaving with more than I came
D A
'Cause I got this pony
B A
And he ain't for sale
G A
And I've got this song to sing
F
I've got a new range to find
B
I've got a new knot to tie
G A
In a country where cowboys are king
G D
D A
We turned tails to the wind
B A
At the ol' Double Diamond
G A
And took off down through the sage
[Refrain]
F B
And wont you listen to the wind
G A
Mother Nature's violin
G D A D
