Capo 3
G C G
It’s been forty-five days since the snows have begun
G D
I stare at the fire and long for the sun
C G C
As the bitter winds blow through the mouth of the pass
G D C
I sit here and dream of the Buffalo grass
G C G
The ponies are shaggy their coats have grown long
G D
With their heads down they huddle together as one
C G C
At the window my breath forms a mist on the glass
G D C
As I patiently wait for the Buffalo grass
Chorus:
C D G
The Seasons still turn and the prairies still yearn
G D
For those who were here long ago
C G C
The Sioux have all gone and the Bison moved on
G D
And soon I will follow them home
G C G
Mollie passed in September and left me alone
G D
Now my heart is as heavy and round as a stone
C G C
Too many years have gone by too fast
G D C
And I long for the feel of the Buffalo grass
G C G
The animals sleep while the world holds it’s breath
G D
The woods are as still and as silent as death
C G C
When the mountain streams flow spring will follow at last
G D C
And the wind will blow free through the Buffalo grass
Chorus:
C D G
The Seasons still turn and the prairies still yearn
G D
For those who were here long ago
C G C
The Sioux have all gone and the Bison moved on
G D
And soon I will follow them home
G C G
The geese will return a symbol of change
G D
The elk will be foraging out on the range
C G C
Once again nature’s palette will color the pass
G D C
And I will find peace in the Buffalo grass
G D C
Yes I will find peace in the Buffalo grass
