[Intro]
A7    A7

[Chorus 1]
A                F#m             
Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta,
            A               
There was a Buffalo Soldier,
       F#m             
In the heart of America
A                   F#m               
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
A                    F#m                  
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

[Verse 1]
           D      C#m         D      C#m
I mean it, when I analyse the stench,
C#m7     Bm7     F#m         
To me it makes a lot of sense
D       C#m       D    C#m
How the Dreadlock Rasta
C#m7    Bm7     F#m    
Was the Buffalo Soldier

[Chorus 2]
           A                  F#m               
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
A                    F#m                  
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
              A                F#m            
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
A                       F#m             
Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of America

[Verse 2]
D      C#m        D     C#m
If you know your history
C#m7           Bm7             F#m        
Then you would know where your coming from
D        C#m             D      C#m
Then you wouldnt have to ask me_
C#m7    Bm7       F#m       
Who the heck do I think I am

[Chorus 3]

In the heart of America
A                   F#m               
Stolen from Africa, brought to America

Said he was fighting on arrival
F#m                  
Fighting for survival
              A

Win the war for America
