Intro;

D  D  A  G  D  D  A  G

Verse 1;

D                          G
Out beyond the river Where you and I would ride

D                 Bm           A
We would skin the buffalo, the last ones left alive

D                             G              Bm
But once again it passed me by, I know it always will

D              A      G        D      A
So now I spend my Sunday standing still

Chorus;

Bm      A              A                 G       A
Sure we could have, we could have got it right

Bm      A              A                 G
Sure we could have, we could have got it right

Verse 2;

D                             G
And somewhere she is calling, out on a scarlet plain

D           Bm          A
But I no longer hear her, I grew out of those games

D                          G          Bm
I never skinned a buffalo, I never even killed

D              A      G        D        A
That’s why I spend my Sunday standing still

Chorus;

Bm      A              A                 G      A
Sure we could have, we could have got it right

Bm      A              A                 G      A
Sure we could have, we could have got it right

Bm      A              A                 G      A
Sure we could have, we could have got it right

Bm      A              A                 G
Sure we could have, we could have got it right
