[Verse 1]
D                              
Way out on the windswept desert, 
                         A7
where nature favors no man
The buffalo found his brother at 
                     D
rest on the sunbaked sand
He said my brother:  What ails you, 
                          A7
has sickness got you this way?
A7
But his brother never said, for his 
brother was dead
                         D
Been dead since way last May

[Verse 2]
Here’s to Chief Big Buffalo Nickel, 
                    A7
a mighty man in his day
Never once used a sickle, to clear 
            D
the bushes away
He would go 'round from tent to 
                        A7
tent, eat everything in sight
A7
He loved a squaw every one he saw
                         D
He loved a new one every night

[Verse 3]
Last night on the windswept desert, 
                     A7
I heard a big Indian moan
I left my tent, I knew what it meant
                            D
 and I swore I’d never more roam
It was dawn when I reached safety, 
                       A7
my legs were certainly sore
A7
I must of lost fifty pounds on that 
hot desert ground
                  D/A
And I’d lose that many more
