Dave Stamey – Buckaroo Man chords

Capo 1


Am         G           F       ESleep in a bed role of canvas
Am            G            EAs no-see-ums feed on your ears
Am             G              F          EWind blows the dust just like buckshot
      F                   G             EAnd I ain't never seen it rain much out here

Am             G            F        ESmell your own sweat in the evenin'
       F         G          E   I wash up at the galvanized tank
        F          G          C                       Am   Nearest town forty miles, the cook here he don't smile
    F               E          AmAnd all these young horses are rank


           Dm          G           C              AmBut come a ty yi yipee I O, on the back of my Caballo
  F               G         EI hope to tie one on when I can
   Dm               G          C                Am My spurs they don't ring much, I never did sing much
     F          E            AmBut I'm a sure enough, a Buckaroo Man


Am         G           F       ECold fingers stiff in the mornin'
Am            G            EBy noon it's a hundred and three

Am             G              F          EFive year old slicks in the canyon
      F            G             EAnd never a hint of a breeze


Am             G            F        EJug-headed hollow-back ponies
F         G          E   Provide all with hours of grief
F                     G      C            Am   There's snakes in the shade, choya on the grade
F               E          AmAnd a half a ton of grit between my teeth

Chorus X 3
