Capo: 4 Tuning: E A D G B E
The Old Double Diamond by Ian Tyson/Written by Gary McMahan Tabbed By: cowboycole10 I couldn't find the chords to this good ol' cowboy song, so I figured I'd make one. Standard Tuning:EADGBe Capo 4th fret Time: 3/4 Hit the bass note, then strum twice. For the rhythm, it's best to play along with the song first. [Intro] C G Am* Am F F G G C G Am* Am F F G* [Verse 1] C G Am* Am Now, the old Double Diamond lay out east of Dubois
In the Fland of the FbuffaloG G C G Am* Am And the auctioneers gavel, how it rapped and it rattled FAs I watched the Fold Double Diamond goG G Em Em Am* Am Won't you listen to the wind F F G* Mother Nature's violin
[Verse 2] C G Am* Am When I first hired on the Old Double Diamond
I was a Fdammed poor Fexcuse for a Gman G C G Am* Am I never learned how to aim when the spirit was tame Couldn'tF see all the Fcards in my GhandG Em Em Am* Am And the wind whipped the granite above me F F G* Blew the tumble weeds clean through my soul
[Verse 3] C G Am* Am Well I fought her winters and I busted her horses
And I Ftook more than I Fthought I could GstandG C G Am* Am But the battles with mountains and cattle Seemed to Fbring out the Fbest in a Gman G Em Em Am* Am I guess a sailor, he needs an ocean And a Fmama, her Fbabies to GholdG C G Am* Am I need the hills of Wyoming F F G* In the land of the buffalo
[Solo] C G Am* Am F F G G C G Am* Am F F G* [Outro] C G Am* Am Now she's sellin' out, I'm moving on
But I'm Fleavin' with Fmore than I GcameG C G Am* Am Cause I've got this saddle, and it ain't for sale And FI got this Fsong to GsingG Em Em Am* Am Find a new range to ride, new knots to tie In a Fcountry where Fcowboys are GkingG C G Am* Am I turn my tail to the wind and the old Double Diamond F F G* Disappeared into the sage
C Am* = this is an Am chord, only instead of picking the open A string (bass note), An E note (D string, 2nd fret) is picked. G* = this is a walk down progression to the C chord.
