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!
This is only my second transcription done by ear. My ear isn't amazing, so please correct as needed.
-- NOTES --
- I've formatted all of the chords, so you can transpose this up/down for a capo'd equivalent.
- I think the chords in the *CHORUS* last half a bar (two beats).
- All other chords last a full bar (four beats). This includes the guitar solo.

TUNING: STANDARD
NO CAPO
[Intro]
- The part before the lyrics is pretty much just a Dm chord with a hammer-on.
- This isn't a tab, I'm just giving you a basic idea here, you can figure out
the strumming in between.
