The Double Diamond Cifras

[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
