You Can't Roller Skate In A Buffalo Herd chords

This is one of my favorite songs by Roger Miller and
I'm really suprised that I hadn't seen it on here.
I took the liberty of giving a full version which
includes the ad-lib lyrics during the little
instrumental break (that would be the part that makes
no sense whatsoever.) Enjoy.
