See Them Buzzards Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I had a friend and his nam[C]e was Joe
And we [D]went a -herding cows
when the [G]sun was low
The cattle stampeded
and we [C]couldn't get ahead
Now [D]my friend Joe is [G]dead
Oh, see them buzzards,
see them buzzards flying low
Oh, see them buzzards flying [C]over [D]Joe
Oh, [G]shoot them buzzards,
shoot them buzzards flying around,
and [Am]bury poor [D]Joe in the [G]ground.
My leg is broken and I [C]can't get away,
but the [D]boys will be here by the [G]end of day.
It won't help Joe as [C]he lies on the [Am]ground,
[C]where the[D] big long horns
knocked him [G]down.
Oh, see them buzzards,
see them buzzards flying low.
Oh, see them buzzards flying [D]over Joe.
Oh, [G]shoot them buzzards,
shoot them buzzards, flyin' round,
and [Am]bury poor [D]Joe in the [G]ground.
Joe had a girl, and [C]she was true.
When she [D]hears about this,
she won't know [G]what to do.
She loved him well, in her [C]simple [Am]way.
If [D]she were here, she would [G]say,[D]
Oh, [G]see them buzzards,
see them buzzards flyin' low
Oh, see them buzzards flyin' [D]over Joe
Oh, [G]shoot them buzzards,
shoot them buzzards flyin' around
And [Am]bury poor [D]Joe in the ground
[G]
