Buffalo Skinner easy guitar chords by

Pete Seeger

N/A
Verse 1
Am

It was in the town of Jacksboro
F
Am

in the spring of seventy -three

A man by the name of Crego

comes steppin' up to me

Said, how do you do, young fellow,

and how'd you like to go

And spend one summer pleasantly

on the range of the buffalo

It's me being out of employment

to old Crego, I did say

This going out on the Buffalo Range

depends upon the pay

But if you pay good wages

and transportation too
F

I think, I will go with you
Am

to the range of the Buffalo

oh yes

I'll pay good wages and transportation too

if you will come and go with me

and stay the summer through

but if you do grow homesick

and homeward you will go well

I'll not pay transportation
F
Am

from the range of the buffalo.

Well, now we've crossed Pease River,

boys,

our troubles have begun.

First old buffalo that I skinned,

Christ, how I cut my thumb.

While skinning the damn old stinkers,

our lives they had no show,

for the Indians watched to pick us off

while skinning the buffalo.

He fed us on such sorry chuck

I wished myself was dead.

Old beans and hardtack

and rotten sour bread.

Oh the mosquitoes and the chintzes

I tell you boys, no go.
F

God's forsaken the Buffalo Range
Am

and that damn old buffalo.

Well, the season was near over

and old Crego, he did say

The crowd had been extravagant,

we were in debt to him that day

Well, we coaxed him and we argued,

but still it was no go

We left his damned old bones to bleach

on the range of the buffalo

Well, now we've crossed Pease River,
F

boys,
Am

and homeward we are bound.

No more in that all -fired country

will ever we be found.

Grow back to our wives and

sweethearts,

tell others not to go.
F

Lord, God's forsaken the Buffalo Range
Am

and the damn old Buffalo

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
