You Can't Roller Skate In A Buffalo Herd Chords

(ver. 1)
Roger Miller
This is one of my favorite songs by Roger Miller and 
I'm really suprised that I hadn't seen it on here. 
I took the liberty of giving a full version which 
includes the ad-lib lyrics during the little 
instrumental break (that would be the part that makes 
no sense whatsoever.) Enjoy.
