John Cale - Buffalo Ballet (1974)
Chords 12/8-2013 by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
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         A   G            D
When Abilene was young and gay
D              A   G               D
And thunder storms filled up the day
     G         D   G             D
The cattle roamed outside the town
 
A                      Em
Sleeping in the midday sun
                       D
Sleeping in the midday sun
A                      Em
Sleeping in the midday sun
                       D
Sleeping in the midday sun
 
D                  A  G            D
Then tracks were lain across the plain
D              A   G          D
By broken, old men in torrid rain
G               D         G             D
The towns grew up and the people were still
 
A                      Em
Sleeping in the midday sun
                       D
Sleeping in the midday sun
A                      Em
Sleeping in the midday sun
                       D
Sleeping in the midday sun
 
    F          G            Bb         D
We all joined in and we'll all hold hands
           F         G         Bb         A
Yes, we'll all join in to help run the land
     G              Dmaj7
Then soldiers once, long, long ago
G                      Dmaj7
Rode through the town, rode down those
 
A                      Em
Sleeping in the midday sun
                       D
Sleeping in the midday sun
A                      Em
Sleeping in the midday sun
                       D
Sleeping in the midday sun
 
D              A    G        D
Gold came and went, quickly spent
D                     A    G            D
And the people broke down and often drowned
G                    D   G        D
From wealth and the pain of old Abilene
 
They were
A                      Em
Sleeping in the midday sun
                       D
Sleeping in the midday sun
A                      Em
Sleeping in the midday sun
                       D
Sleeping in the midday sun
 
[Repeat chorus until song fades out]
