Biography:
The White Buffalo is American musician and singer-songwriter Jake Smith (born in Oregon in 1974/1975, and raised in California).
The White Buffalo is said to be a throwback to the time of hard touring, hard drinking artists who really lived what they sang about. Everything about him is big, from his imposing physical size to his amazing vocal range. He’s as comfortable playing in a dive bar as he is in front of thousands in a European arena.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
My take on this wonderful song, recently heard on Sons of Anarchy. The Cadd9 is
probably actually an F or a variation thereof, but I find it easier to add the
finger picking with this, and it sounds pretty true to the original.
Standard tuning, capo 7th.
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G
Mother, I tried to do right by you
Cadd9 G
To do what you asked me to
D G
I did wrong and I knew.
G Cadd9 G
Mother I tried to behave for you
Cadd9 G
Now I’m a digging a grave for you
D G
It was all I could do.
D C
Find a way back home, Make everything new
G
But I wish it was true.
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G
Father, well I’ll give my soul to you
Cadd9 G
I came in blind folded for you
D G
It was all that I knew.
D C
Open your arms and I’ll fly out of hell up to you
G
I wish it was true.
[Bridge]
Am C
Boy come on out from the cold
G
You're lost outside there don’t you know
D
It’s not what you say it what's you do
Am
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
C
Well your dreams they're reality now
G
There’s no pain there’s no misery
D
Just polish the blood and the bruise
C
For there’s just no way you can lose.
G
Well I wish it was true.
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 G
Country, I was a soldier for you
Cadd9 G
I did what you asked me to
D G
It was wrong and you knew.
G Cadd9 G
Country, now I’m just a stranger to you
Cadd9 G
A number a name it’s true
D G
Throw me away when you’re through.
D C
Home of the brave and free the, the red white and blue
G
Well I wish it was true.
