Buffalo Skinners chords by 
Alan Lomax
N/A•
Verse 1
Em
G
It happened in Jacksboro, boys,
Em
in the year of seventy -three
Bm
G
When a man by the name of Crego
Em
Bm
G
came stepping up to me
D
G
Says, how do you do, young fellow,
Em
G
Em
and how would you like to go?
E
G
And spend one summer pleasantly
Em
G
on the range of the buffalo
Em
G
It's me being out of employment,
E
G
boys, this to Crego I did say.
This going out on the Buffalo Range
Em
depends upon the pay.
G
But if you will pay good wages,
Em
G
E
Em
pay transportation too.
E
Em
G
Em
E
I think sir I will go with you
Bm
G
to the range of the buffalo
E
yes I will pay good wages
G
boys this old Krigo he did say
D
G
provided you will go with me
E
G
and stay the summer through
E
G
E
but if you should grow homesick
Bm
G
come back to Jacksboro.
E
I will not pay your transportation
G
from the range of the Buffalo.
E
D
It's now we've
E
crossed Pease River boys,
G
our troubles have begun.
The first damn tail I went to rip,
Em
Bm
G
Em
Christ how I cut my thumb.
G
Pease River is salty as held fire,
E
Bm
G
the water I could never go.
E
G
Bm
E
And the engines watched to pick us off
Bm
G
on the range of the buffalo.
Bm
Em
Our meat, it was buffalo hock
Bm
G
and iron wage bread.
Em
G
And all we had to sleep on
E
Bm
D
was a buffalo robe for a bed.
Em
G
The fleas and graybacks work on us.
Em
D
Bm
G
Em
Oh, boys, they are not slow.
E
G
I'll say there's no worse hell on earth
than the range of the buffalo.
Em
G
Em
The season being ended, boys,
G
this old Krigo he did say
that we had been extravagant.
Em
Bm
We're in debt to him that day,
D
G
we coaxed him and we begged him,
E
G
but still it was no go.
Em
D
E
We left his damned old bones to bleach
G
on the range of the buffalo.
D
G
E
An d now we've crossed these river
boys
G
and homeward we are bound.
No more in that hell -fired country
D
G
will ever we be found.
Go back to our wives and sweethearts,
D
Bm
G
E
tell others not to go.
D
G
Em
For God's forsaken that Buffalo Range
G
D
and the damned old Buffalo.

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
