from : idar w . ( phillynott @ ultimate – guitar . com )

song : buffalo gal
artist : thin lizzy
album : shades of a blue orphanage
lyrics : www . sing365 . com

tuning : eadgbe ( normal )

this one didnt take to long . thin lizzy are using two guitars , and one of them is doing
a bit soloing and some riffs throughout the song and i’m not tabbing that guitar .

notes :
– don’t play the lightest E – string one the C#m – chord . it sounds better without it .
– let the final a at the chorus ring ( or whatever you call it in english ) hold ivertfall den siste
a’en ei lita stund fr du fortsett spille .
E
buffalo gal ,
F#m
you’ve had your fun
B A
your button’s undone
E
and the time’s right for slaughter
E
buffalo gal
F#m
you’re thirsty and there’s no more water
B A E
like the lamb on the altar
C#m
and it’s sad to see you looking down and feeling blue
C#m
try your best to get on up and see it through
E F#m A
in a while you might smile and see the sun
B E
oww , the day has begun

{chorus}
C#m F#m
and buffalo gal ,
A B E C#m
they’re closing down the old dance hall
F#m A
ummm , buffalo gal ,
B E A
what we gonna do now?

buffalo gal ,
due to these circumstances
there’s no more dances
buffalo gal ,
[ buffalo ] all your chances of further romances
will have to be nil
’til i can get it sung
is a shame your only claim to fame is jessie james
you know his middle name
that’s very strange
stranger , you knew a friend called the friendly ranger
oh , ya shared the danger

( repeat chorus )

buffalo gal ,
you must try a big step
you’ve got a big jump ahead
buffalo gal ,
the show left town
spreading sunshine all around
and it’s bad to see ya , ooh , lookin’ blue
dry your eyes and i’ll apologise for all the lies
try a smile and in a while , just in a while
you’ll be smiling through

ooh , buffalo gal ,
they’re closin’ down the old dance hall [ buffalo ( repeat 10 times ) gal , gal ]
and buffalo gal ,
oh , you look so good somehow [ buffalo ( repeat 9 times ) gal ]
oh buffalo gal ,
oh , that’s such a pretty dress [ buffalo ( repeat 8 times ) gal ]
buffalo gal ,
the show left town [ buffalo ( repeat 8 times ) gal , gal ]
buffalo gal ,
take a picture
of buffalo gal [ buffalo ( repeat 10 times ) ]
