_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ When America was still just a young country, [B] many soldiers went to battle so that this
land could become the great United States of America.
[F#] This story is about a group of soldiers that [F] made up one segment of the United [C#] States cavalry
during the great Indian uprising.
[F#] _ To the Indian, this soldier looked [B] strange and different [F#] because he wasn't white.
He was black, [B] thick woolly hair, strong.
[F#] He sort of reminded the Indian of that great buffalo.
[C#] So the [G] Indian called this black cavalry soldier, [E] [G] Buffalo [E] Soldier.

In the _ _ _ _ [B] 1800s, in Arizona [F#] and Mexico, _ _ _ _ came a brand new soldier. _
[B] The Indians called him [F#] Buffalo. _
From _ prison camps to slavery, _
[B] the black man [F#] came to be.
_ He was a hard riding hero _ [B] _ of the 10th [F#] Cavalry. _
You know many of the soldiers, _ [B] _ Lord, they wanted [F#] to desert. _
_ _ They were tired of the hatred, yes they were.
[B] They were so tired [F#] of the hurt.
_ _ They were tired of the killing.
[B] They were tired of the misery. _ _
_ [F#] _ But they had to keep on fighting.
_ [B] So one day we [F#] would be free.
We want to thank you right here.
_ _ Buffalo Soldier, Buffalo [B] Soldier,
_ _ _ listen to me, oh Lord.
[F#] I wonder _ when, it's been a long time,
will they call you [C#] man, oh Lord.
Buffalo [B] _ _ Soldier, Buffalo Soldier,
_ _ listen to me, oh [F#] Lord.
I wonder [B] when, when will they call you a man.
Oh, I wonder [F#] when, when will they [C#] _
call you a [B] man.
_ _ [F#] _ _
_ When will [C#] they call [B] you a man.
