[Verse 1]
G
Two moons and a raging river
Saddled up by the piñon on fire
D
Drove out to the edge of the pueblo
Bought a drum from a man who cried
C
And the children's show is on the ceiling
And the way that you hold my hand
G
And I yelled and I didn't know the reason
But I knew that you'd understand
[Chorus]
G
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
D
Some things take time, I know they do
Some things take time, I know they do
C
I hope our time will never go
I hope our time will never go
G
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
[Verse 2]
G
Will wе go like the woolly mammoth
Or the dеar dodo
D
Gone like the Bachman's warbler
Disappeared like the melting snow
C
Little Mariana fruit bats
Or the bridled white-eye bird
G
Or will we keep on running
Like the sound of the buffalo herd
G
That Sky Redhawk recorded
Out on his cousin's farm
D
Up north in Minnesota
He tied the recorder in the yard
C
Up to a gatepost waiting
Slept out in a tent to hear
G
The rumble of the big stampede
That one day magically appeared
[Chorus]
G
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
D
Some things take time, I know they do
Some things take time, I know they do
C
I hope our time will never go
I hope our time will never go
G
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
[Verse 3]
G
And I want us to be like that
Running wild and running free
D
This year tried to kill us, baby
Well good luck trying, you can't catch me
C
And I'll jump off this cliff with you
If that means we will survive
G
'Cause we drove out to the desert
Just to leave the past behind
And our footsteps fall in shadows
Treading light down the canyon trail
D
And the sun is barely rising
And the stars like a wedding veil
C
And I cannot lie to you
'Cause you can read my mind
G
So I think I'll try with you
Some things just take more time
[Chorus]
G
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
D
Some things take time (I know they do)
Some things take time (I know they do)
C
I hope our time will never go
I hope our time will never go
G
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
D
Some things take time (I know they do)
Some things take time (I know they do)
C
I hope our time will never go
I hope our time will never go
G
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
