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

Mollie passed in September and left me alone

Now my heart is as heavy and round as a stone

Too many years have gone by too fast

And I long for the feel of the Buffalo grass

The animals sleep while the world holds it’s breath

The woods are as still and as silent as death

When the mountain streams flow, spring will follow at last

And the wind will blow free through the Buffalo grass

Chorus

The geese will return, a symbol of change

The elk will be foraging out on the range

Once again nature’s palette will color the pass

And I will find peace in the Buffalo grass

Yes, I will find peace in the Buffalo grass
