Am
I got no reason to believe
                            F
Just a theory that we do appease
I don't know what you want from me
  G             Em            Am
Where you go to get your ecstasy
Start tapping rhythm from the source
                             F
Maybe I could be your Crazy Horse

                   G
We only wanted to be
        Em           Am
We only wanted to be sure
What is it for?
Come get me
F                  G
We only wanted to be
         Em     G  Am
We only wanted to be

Chorus:
 Am        Em G
What you thinkin’?
 Am             Em        G    F
Got more than enough for you, yeah
Over and over and over again, well
                Em      G
Over and over until it sends
 Am        Em G
What you thinkin'?
 Am               Em       G
White buffalo be drinkin' dirty
F
Over and over and over again, well
                   Em       G    Am
Over and over with all my friends

I think the two of us should go
For a drive like maybe Idaho
Road trip circuits just around the bend
I could be your beneficial friend
Call me every name in the book
Punk-ass fascist and a dirty crook

We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be sure
What is it for?
Come get me
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be

Chorus:
What you thinkin’?
Got more than enough for you, yeah
Over and over and over again, well
Over and over until it sends
What you thinkin'?
White buffalo be drinkin' dirty
Over and over and over again now
Over and over with all my friends

Am
I got these things in mind, you know
                             F
South Dakota, show the buffalo
                                     G
In the Black Hills you could find it all
                        Em    G    Am
Blood runs thick like from a waterfall
This broken native entity
  Am                         F
Dreaming clean-up on the century
                            G
This horse is crazy not to be
                Em G
This horse is crazy

Chorus:
What you thinkin'?
Got more than enough for you, well
Over and over and over again, yeah
Over and over until it sends
What you thinkin'?
White buffalo be drinkin' dirty
Over and over and over again now
Over and over with all my friends
