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
DWhen AbileAne wGas young and Dgay
DAnd thunder stoArms Gfilled up the daDy
The cGattle roamDed oGutside the towDn
ASleeping in the midday Emsun
Sleeping in the midday Dsun
ASleeping in the midday Emsun
Sleeping in the midday Dsun
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 aFll joined iGn and we'll aBbll hold hanDds
Yes, we'll Fall join iGn to help Bbrun the lanAd
Then Gsoldiers once, Dmaj7long, long ago
GRode through the town, Dmaj7rode 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]
