The Song Of The Brown Buffalo

	  		
 D          A 
Hey white man 
                     C 
Do you know what I am? 
                  Bm 
I'm the brown buffalo, by way of Mexico 
D                 A 
I am an attorney, on a lifelong journey 
C                   Bm 
I fight for chicano power 
 Dm 
Never met a man I couldn't devour 
                                   A 
Never met a plan I couldn't put in place 

They attack, I brace, they escape, I chase 
       C                                 G 
I'm a tad temperamental so get out my face 

I'm mad monumental, see my dick from space! 


A# 
I am strength for the weak 
       F             G 
I am speed for the slow 
            A 
This is the song of the Brown Buffalo

V
Hey! 
     D 
I'm beastly and I'm brutish 
                          D7 
And my fur is caked with gore 
 D                                       D7 
I'm the trouble you've been looking for 
D 
And you don't know I'm brilliant 
                         D7 
Cuz you only hear my roar 
D                                      D7 
I'm the trouble you've been looking for 

 
       D7   C                 A                        D 
And I don't ever hide from a fight that needs to be fought 
     C                                     D 
And I would never filter a cigarette or a thought 

Chorus 
       A             G     D                     A 
Cuz my mind is open wide, and it grows, and it grows 
      A              G           D            A 
Inhibitions cast aside, it just goes where it goes 
                      C               G 
I don't answer to a bossman, no, no, no 

See I'm a great big bad brown buffalo

 D 
My head is full of acid 
                            D7 
But my heart is kind and pure 
         D                             D7 
I'm the trouble you've been looking for 
D                                         D7 
My politics are liberal, but I pack a .44 
D                                                             D7 
Which I use to fight for those who are too weak to wage a war 
D                                      D7 
I'm the trouble we've been looking for 

 
          A          G         D              A 
Cuz my mind is open wide, it expands, it expands 
 A                 G     D                             A 
Every open gate I pried with these hands, with these hands 
                         B    D                 A 
Leaving no path left untried, walk the sands, walk the sands 
                 C         G 
I'm no ordinary human no, no, no 
  G 
See I'm a great big bad brown buffalo 

 
And if you think I'm not hefe, you got it wrong 
                    A                       D 
This is my birthright baby, and this is my song 

Interlude

Food, booze, drugs, guns and radical politics 
D               A              D
