Ian Tyson - Old double diamond

^CNow the old Double Diamond, lay ^Amout east of Duboise In the land ^F........ of the ^Gbuffalo And the ^Cauctioneers gavel, how it rapped and it ^Amrattled As I watched the old ^FDouble Diamond ^Ggo

Won't you ^Clisten to the ^Amwind Mother natures ^FVio ^Glin

When ^CI first hired on, to ^Amthe old Double Diamond I was a damn poor ^Fexcuse for a ^Gman Never ^Clearned how to aim, when the spirit ^Amwas tame Couldn't see all ^Fthe cards in my ^Ghand

And the ^Cwind whipped the granite ^Amabove me Blew the tumble weeds ^Fclean through my ^Gsoul

Well ^CI've fought her winters and I've ^Ambusted her horses And I took more ^Fthan I thought I could ^Gstand But ^Cthe battles with the mountains and ^Amcattle Seem to bring out ^Fthe best in a ^Gman

I guess ^Ca sailor, he needs an ^Amocean And a mama ^Fher babies to ^Ghold But ^CI need the hills of ^AmWyoming In the land ^F......... of the ^Gbuffalo

Now ^Cshes sellin out, and ^AmI'm movin on But I'm leavin ^Fwith more than I ^Gcame Cause ^CI've got my saddle and it ain't for ^Amsale And I've got this ^Fsong to ^Gsing

Got ^Cto find new range to ride and ^Amnew knots to tie In a country ^Fwhere cowboys are ^Gking I turn ^Cmy tail to the wind, and the o^Amld Double Diamond Disappears in ^Fto the ^Gsage....... ^C
