Текст песни Ian Tyson — The Old Double Diamond + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
The Old Double Diamond by Ian Tyson/Written by Gary McMahan
Tabbed By: cowboycole10
I couldn't find the chords to this good ol' cowboy song, so I figured I'd make one.
Standard Tuning:EADGBe
Capo 4th fret
Time: 3/4
Hit the bass note, then strum twice. For the rhythm, it's best to play along with the song first.
[Intro]
C G Am* Am F F G G
C G Am* Am F F G*
[Verse 1]
C G Am* Am
Now, the old Double Diamond lay out east of Dubois
F F G G
In the land of the buffalo
C G Am* Am
And the auctioneers gavel, how it rapped and it rattled
F F G G
As I watched the old Double Diamond go
Em Em Am* Am
Won't you listen to the wind
F F G*
Mother Nature's violin
[Verse 2]
C G Am* Am
When I first hired on the Old Double Diamond
F F G G
I was a dammed poor excuse for a man
C G Am* Am
I never learned how to aim when the spirit was tame
F F G G
Couldn't see all the cards in my hand
Em Em Am* Am
And the wind whipped the granite above me
F F G*
Blew the tumble weeds clean through my soul
[Verse 3]
C G Am* Am
Well I fought her winters and I busted her horses
F F G G
And I took more than I thought I could stand
C G Am* Am
But the battles with mountains and cattle
F F G G
Seemed to bring out the best in a man
Em Em Am* Am
I guess a sailor, he needs an ocean
F F G G
And a mama, her babies to hold
C G Am* Am
I need the hills of Wyoming
F F G*
In the land of the buffalo
[Solo]
C G Am* Am F F G G
C G Am* Am F F G*
[Outro]
C G Am* Am
Now she's sellin' out, I'm moving on
F F G G
But I'm leavin' with more than I came
C G Am* Am
Cause I've got this saddle, and it ain't for sale
F F G G
And I got this song to sing
Em Em Am* Am
Find a new range to ride, new knots to tie
F F G G
In a country where cowboys are king
C G Am* Am
I turn my tail to the wind and the old Double Diamond
F F G*
Disappeared into the sage
C
Am* = this is an Am chord, only instead of picking the open A string (bass note),
An E note (D string, 2nd fret) is picked.
G* = this is a chord progression
