Chord/Tab song: Buffalo Ballet

John Cale - Buffalo Ballet (1974)
Chords 12/8-2013 by Jon Malmin ([email protected])
Tuning: Standard E

The verses and choruses all have the same chord progressions, so I'm only
including chords above the first one of each.

Intro:
[D] [A] [G] [Em]
[D]When Abile[A]ne w[G]as young and [D]gay
[D]And thunder sto[A]rms [G]filled up the da[D]y
The c[G]attle roam[D]ed o[G]utside the tow[D]n

[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_cale/buffalo_ballet_crd.html )
Then tracks were lain across the plain
By broken, old men in torrid rain
The towns grew up and the people were still

Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun

We a[F]ll joined i[G]n and we'll a[Bb]ll hold han[D]ds
Yes, we'll [F]all join i[G]n to help [Bb]run the lan[A]d
Then [G]soldiers once, [Dmaj7]long, long ago
[G]Rode through the town, [Dmaj7]rode down those

Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun

Gold came and went, quickly spent
And the people broke down and often drowned
From wealth and the pain of old Abilene

They were sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun

(Repeat chorus until song fades out)
