Song: Buffalo Soldier


A                F#m       D         A
Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
                                   F#m       D       A
There was a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America
                    F#m         D       A
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
                     F#m             D      A
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

D      C#m       D       C#m
If you know your history
A/C#           Bm             F#m
Then you would know where you coming from
D        C#m              D      C#m
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
A/C#    Bm        F#m
Who the heck do I think I am

              A                F#m       D      A
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta                
                       F#m       D        A
Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America

           D      C#m  D             C#m
I mean it, when I analyze the stench
A/C#     Bm      F#m
To me it makes a lot of sense
D       C#m       D     C#m
How the Dreadlock Rasta 
A/C#     Bm      F#m
Was the Buffalo Soldier

           A                  F#m         D       A
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
                     F#m             D      A
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

                                  F#m       D       A
I'm just a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America
                    F#m         D       A
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
                                 F#m              D      A
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
                                      F#m      D       A
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier win the war for America

Driven from the mainland to the heart of the Caribbean
