Little Buffalo Rock by Fred Eaglesmith
[Verse]
B B7
I saw Big Bear Henry, Two Turtle Jim
E E7
Rolling into town, they was ridin' on the rims
B B7
Sold their tires to buy themselves
Db Gb Gb7
A couple of cases of beer
B B7
They got there a little too late
E E7
So they broke down the door and they shot up the place
B Gb B
Now everybody's gone crazy 'round here
[Chorus]
B B7
And it's restless nights and endless fights
E E7
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights
B Db Gb Gb7
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars
B B7
It's a tar-paper shack, whiskey and smack
E
Two guns left on a five rifle rack
B Gb B
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure
[Verse]
B B7
Set up the barricade on the line
E E7
The cops came down and bullets were flying
B B7
Held 'em up and then we held 'em off
Db Gb Gb7
'Till just afore dawn
B B7
They got Bear and then they got Jim
E E7
And then we got a couple of them
B
And if we make the trade
Gb B
They say they'll call it off
[Chorus]
B B7
And it's restless nights and endless fights
E E7
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights
B Db Gb Gb7
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars
B B7
It's a tar-paper shack, whiskey and smack
E
Two guns left on a five rifle rack
B Gb B
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure

B B7
Down in the churchyard the mandolins are ringing
E E7
and I can hear the choir singing
B B7 Db Gb Gb7
Dogs are a'barkin', sirens are a'wailin' just at the edge of town
B B7
The radio says the whole thing's over
E E7
But there ain't much that they don't know
B Gb B
'Cause tomorrow morning the whole thing's gonna go down
[Chorus]
B B7
And it's restless nights and endless fights
E E7
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights
B Db Gb Gb7
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars
