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 (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)Em (022000@1)D (xx0232@1)       A (x02220@1) G (320003@1)          DWhen (xx0232@1)Abilene was young and gay
D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1) G (320003@1)             DAnd (xx0232@1)thunder storms filled up the day
     G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1)           DThe (xx0232@1)cattle roamed outside the town

A (x02220@1)                    EmSleeping (022000@1)in the midday sun
                       DSleeping (xx0232@1)in the midday sun
A (x02220@1)                    EmSleeping (022000@1)in the midday sun
                       DSleeping (xx0232@1)in the midday sun

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

F (133211@1)        G (320003@1)          Bb (x1333x@1)       DWe (xx0232@1)all joined in and we'll all hold hands
           F (133211@1)       G (320003@1)       Bb (x1333x@1)       AYes, (x02220@1)we'll all join in to help run the land
     G (320003@1)            Dmaj7Then (xx0222@1)soldiers once, long, long ago
G (320003@1)                    Dmaj7Rode (xx0222@1)through the town, 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
