INTRO: G


I pulled out of Cheyenne, my steam in my kettle
       D              G
And my dancing shoes, peddle to the metal

Gotta make it to Washakie 'fore the sun starts to set
         D                         G
So I can dance by the light of the moon


        D        G
Buffalo gals and pony boys
       D                    G
It's a congregating down in old Dubois
Em      D              G
Cowboys coming down to make some noise
       D                G
At the Wind River Rendezvous


  Em            D          G
I danced with a guy with a hole in his stocking
        D                       G
And his heels kept rocking, his toes kept knocking
  Em     D              G
Tomorrow morning better do some talking
          D                          G
'Cause we danced by the light of the moon


CHORUS:

Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
D                 G
Come out tonight, come out tonight
Em      D              G
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
    D                         G
And dance by the light of the moon


INSTRUMENTAL: G   D  G  Em D G  D  G  


  Em            D         G
I danced with a guy whose spurs were a-jingling
        D                   G
And the sparks were flying, elbows flinging
  Em     D                 G
Tomorrow morn' his head'll still be ringing
          D                          G
'Cause we danced by the light of the moon


INSTRUMENTAL: G D G  Am  D  G D G  Am D G  D    G D  G    Am D G


BRIDGE:
 
Jakey's Fork, the wind is blowing

There's fire up in the sky

In the evening I dream I fly over you

On the very day that I die
       D               G
On the very day that I die


CHORUS:

Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
D                 G
Come out tonight, come out tonight
Em      D              G
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
    D                         G
And dance by the light of the moon
    D                         G
And dance by the light of the moon
    D                         G        D  G
And dance by the light of the moon
