Intro: G
I pulled out of Cheyenne, my steam in my kettle
DG
And my dancing shoes, peddle to the metal
Gotta make it to Washakie 'fore the sun starts to set
DG
So I can dance by the light of the moon
DG
Buffalo gals and pony boys
DG
It's a congregating down in old Dubois
EmDG
Cowboys coming down to make some noise
DG
At the Wind River Rendezvous
EmDG
I danced with a guy with a hole in his stocking
DG
And his heels kept rocking, his toes kept knocking
EmDG
Tomorrow morning better do some talking
DG
'Cause we danced by the light of the moon
Chorus:
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
DG
Come out tonight, come out tonight
EmDG
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
DG
And dance by the light of the moon
Instrumental: GDGEmDGDGEmDG
I danced with a guy whose spurs were a-jingling
DG
And the sparks were flying, elbows flinging
EmDG
Tomorrow morn' his head'll still be ringing
DG
'Cause we danced by the light of the moon
Instrumental: GDGAmDGDGAmDGDGDGAmDGBridge:
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
DG
On the very day that I die
Chorus:
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
DG
Come out tonight, come out tonight
EmDG
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
DG
And dance by the light of the moon
DG
And dance by the light of the moon

And dance by the light of the moon
