[Verse 1]
D                            E    A
  Lonesome travelers and ramblin' types
D                                   E  A
  Shuffling down some unknown trail tonight
D                                  E   A
  In your hobo jungles and your boxcar dreams
D                          E   A
  Living only by your ways and means


[Chorus]
      D        A
Carry on and remain
            D                      A
A new light shines upon you once again
      D        F#m
Carry on and remain
          D    E        A
Buffalo return   to the plain


[Verse 2]
D                             E  A
  Midnight rounders that need no rest
D                             E       A
  Gypsy hearts beating wildly in your chest
D                             E   A
  One step ahead of the rules and laws
   D                                  E  A
Oh brother, dear brother, you've seen it all


[Chorus]
              D        A
But you carry on and remain
                D                 A
Let your spirit rise up above the pain
      D        F#m
Carry on and remain
          D    E        A
Buffalo return   to the plain

[Verse 3]
D  N.C.                  E    A
  Faded followers of railway lines
D  N.C.                       E  A
  People who really hear America crying
D  N.C.                         E   A
  God be with you all and bless you please
D  N.C.                            E  A
  Out where the highways just turn to breeze


[Chorus]
      D         A
Carry on, you remain
             D         A
This land is ours to reclaim
      D        F#m
Carry on and remain
          D    E        A
Buffalo return   to the plain


[Chorus]
      D        A
Carry on and remain
            D                         A
A new light shines on everybody once again
      D        F#m
Carry on and remain
          D    E        A
Buffalo return   to the plain


[Chorus]
      D        A
Carry on and remain
             D                    A
It's falling down, like a welcome rain
      D        F#m
Carry on and remain
          D        E            A
Buffalo return, oh yeah, to the plain, all right
