Buffalo soldier,
[E] dreadlocked [A] rasta
It was a buffalo soldier [F#m] in the heart of [A] America
Stolen from Africa,
[F#] brought to [A] America
Fighting an arrival,
[F#m] fighting for [A] survival
I mean it, [D] when I [C#m] analyze the [D] stench
To [Bm] me it makes a [F#m] lot of sense
[D] How this [C#m] dreadlocked
[C#m] [Bm] buffalo [F#m] soldier
And he was [A] taken from Africa,
[F#] brought to [A] America
Fighting an arrival,
[E] fighting for [A] survival
Said he was a buffalo soldier,
[F#m] dreadlocked [A] rasta
Buffalo soldier, in the heart of America
[D] If you [G#] knew your [D]
history
Then [E] you would know where you're [F#m] coming from
[D] Then you [C#m] wouldn't have to [Bm] ask [A] me
Who [E] the heck do I [F#m] think I am?
And just a [A] buffalo soldier, [F#] in the heart of America
[A] Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Said he was fighting an arrival,
[F#] fighting for [A] survival
Said he was a buffalo soldier, [F#m] in the heart of America [A] Said he
Wai-yi-yi-yi, wai-yi-yi-yi, [F#m] wai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi [A]-yi-yi-yi
[F#m] [A]
[F#m] Buffalo soldier, [D] trotting to the land
[C#m]
Said he was gonna [F#m] rent and make him own a hand
Trotting to the land
Said [C#m]
he [A] was a buffalo soldier, [F#] in the war for [A] America
Buffalo soldier,
[F#] dreadlocked [A] rasta
Fighting an arrival,
[F#m] fighting for [A] survival
Driven from the mainland, [F#m] with the heart of the [A] Caribbean
Then he, wai-yi-yi, wai-yi [F#m] [A]-yi-yi, wai-yi-yi-yi-yi [A]-yi-yi
wai
[F#m] -yi-yi-yi-yi-yi [A]-yi
Trodding through San Juan, [E] in the arms of [A] America
Trodding through Jamaica, [D] like a buffalo [A] soldier
Fighting an arrival, fighting for survival
