Verse: 

C                   G            F       G      C 
I'm going to sing a song about a man who I have met 
C                     G 
He lives alone in a quiet town 
     F                 G 
His face I'll never forget 
    F               C 
And every line that marks his face 
  G                 F 
Is not from age I'm sure 
          F 
It's from aiming through a 308 
                         G 
As in his saddle he sits tall 
 

[Refrão]
              C           F           G 
And will the real Buffalo Bill please stand 
C         F          C           G 
Holding a beer and a gun in each hand 
     C           F              C            G 
Those bright blue eyes give away more then he knows 
          C             F               C       G 
When they sparkle as his story tells of chasing buffalo 
       F      G         C C/B  Am  G  F  G  CFC 
And if I were born fifty years ago 

Verse: 

C                   G 
He'd laugh and grin with his mates 
            F      G    C 
But do they really understand 
          C                   G 
About the days back then those buffalo 
    F                G 
And catching them by hand 
      F              C 
That, life of his, a wife and kids 
    G                 F 
And too much rum don't go 
      F 
For a man, a father, a ringer, A charmer 
                G 
And a life with buffalo 


[Refrão]
              C           F           G 
And will the real Buffalo Bill please stand 
         C         F          C           G 
(He was) Holding a beer and a gun in each hand 
     C           F              C            G 
Those bright blue eyes give away more then he knows 
          C             F               C       G 
When they sparkle as his story tells of chasing buffalo 
       F      G         C C/B  Am  G  F  G  C F C 
And if I were born fifty years ago 

Verse: 
         C                 G 
Well the breaker he now no longer rides 
   F       G        C 
Or risks a wild stampede 
       C                   G 
He just dreams about those days long gone  
            F            G 
And life of danger he is free 
        F              C                G         F 
And I'm glad I met the man who lives in Camoweal today 
   F                                       G 
To sing this song and carry on his life of yesterday 
 

[Refrão]
         C           F        G 
And the real Buffalo Bill did stand 
       C         F          C           G 
He was holding a beer and a gun in each hand 
        C               F 
And in fifty years just look up high 
    C                  G 
And catch a glimpse of horse 
C                       F 
Face to face with those buffalo 
        C                   G 
Saying, "She'll be right of course" 
       F      G         C C/B  Am  G 
And if I were born fifty years ago 
  F                G         C   C/B  Am  G 
I wouldn't like to be a buffalo  No   No 
       F      G         C C/B  Am  F  G  C F C 
And if I were born fifty years ago
