[Verse 1]

 C                  G           
Now, the old Double Diamond lay 
Am*          Am
out east of Dubois
       F           F      G   G
In the land of the buffalo
        C           G             
And the auctioneers gavel, how it 
Am*           Am
rapped and it rattled
F                F               
As I watched the old Double 
     G   G
Diamond go
Em                Em    Am*   Am
Won't you listen to the wind
       F        F     G*
Mother Nature's violin

[Verse 2]

C                  G      Am*   
When I first hired on the Old 
     Am
Double Diamond
        F           F            
I was a dammed poor excuse for a 
G   G
man
        C              G          
I never learned how to aim when 
  Am*            Am
the spirit was tame
        F            F           
Couldn't see all the cards in my 
G   G
hand

        Em               Em      
And the wind whipped the granite 
Am*     Am
above me
        F             F           
Blew the tumble weeds clean 
     G*
through my soul

[Verse 3]

C                 G             
Well I fought her winters and I 
Am*              Am
busted her horses
      F                F       
And I took more than I thought I 
        G    G
could stand
        C            G             
But the battles with mountains and 
Am*    Am
cattle
          F             F         
Seemed to bring out the best in a 
G   G
man
          Em      Em          Am*
I guess a sailor, he needs an 
    Am
ocean
      F         F         G   G
And a mama, her babies to hold
C          G        Am*     Am
I need the hills of Wyoming
       F           F      G*
In the land of the buffalo

C                 G    Am*        Am
Now she's sellin' out, I'm moving on
        F            F           
But I'm leavin' with more than I 
G   G
came
      C             G              
Cause I've got this saddle, and it 
Am*           Am
ain't for sale
    F          F       G   G
And I got this song to sing
       Em           Em    Am*    
Find a new range to ride, new 
      Am
knots to tie
     F             F           G   G
In a country where cowboys are king
          C           G            
I turn my tail to the wind and the 
Am*        Am
old Double Diamond
F           F        G*
Disappeared into the sage
