Ok, being inspired by all the other people putting compilations of albums on the
net, I figured that it was time to start something myself. I have included in
this file some tabs and crds of songs of this GREAT album by Buffalo Tom.
I don't know if the songs provided are correct. I DO know that some of the
lyrics typed are not correct. I have listened to some songs over and over
again, and just can't figure out what is being said.
If anyone has any additions, corrections, or extra info for the songs OR the
lyrics for this album then please contact me. In return I will award you with
eternal fame as your name will appear in the credit list. Hope someone will
enjoy this. If you don't know the album, BUY IT !!!, it's well worth your money.
Also, don't pay too much attention to the chord names. My chord theory is no
good, so they are bound to be wrong. Again, corrections are welcome !
Here yah go,
Alexander.

Lyrics :
Watch an eyeball
Take a free fall
At the mention of a name
In it's socket
Like a rocket
Rises just the same
But could my eyelids
Cover what I did
The shutting of the door
Could these ceilings
Contain my feelings
Me down on the floor
Jerked my fountain
and ice cream mountain
I suppose I'm just too late
Form a line here
I think I'll die here
These people nauseate me
But if my patience
Were a spaceship
High up in orbit
Then I would rise here
Hypnotized here
Listen where I sing
Risen from where I sit
A solid angle
My legs do dangle
Off the counter's edge
Soft words spoken
Promises broken
Close my eyes instead
But could my eyelids
Cover what I did
The shutting of the door
Could these ceilings
Contain my feelings
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SONG : I'm Allowed
Note: the chord progression stays the same throughout the song. Listen to the
song to get some sort of a picking pattern. Meanwhile you can get away with the
following.

Another version provided by Ed Cheng :
...and the way I do the chorus (different from Efren's):
Bb C7sus9(x35333x) E
Listen to the strumming pattern, it's not difficult at all.
Gm Csus2
Waited for an answer
EbMaj9 Bbm
But I waited for 25 years
Gm Csus2
They stopped my bleeding
EbMaj9 Bbm
But could never stop all those tears
Gm Csus2
I waited for the day when
EbMaj9 Bbm
He came out from beneath all that weight
Gm Csus2
I tried to lift it
EbMaj9
But it seems I got there too
Bb5 C5 Eb5
Late
Bb5 C5 Eb5
Just to late
Bb5 C5 Eb5
Just to late
Bb5 C5 Eb5 Bb5
Cause I'm allo_________wed
Note : Music repeats in the same manner from here....
Came to the party
But I got my own signals crossed
Thought I was welcome
But I felt like I should get lost
I know that I'm older
Cause I feel that everywhere
I could talk to no one
Cause I knew not one person
There
No one's there
They just stared
But they're allowed
As vivid as a car wreck
Watch them dripping off highway ramps
She came to me smiling
Her heart underneath both her hands
She spoke of a French boy
At least two times through the night
It could have been the liquor
Or the music but that is
All right
That's all right
She's allowed
And I'm allowed
I'm allowed
I'm allowed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SONG : I'm Allowed (version provided by Efren)
Place a capo on the third fret for this song. Tabs are given for
when the third fret is capoed. The chord names above the tabs are
the relative open chords for when the third fret is capoed, with the
real chord names in parentheses.
Basically, there is one major chord progression:
(Rhythm pattern is not completely correct - listen to the recording
to get the right pattern)
h=hammer on
p=pull off
Em(Gm) - - - Am(Cm) - - -
e|--------0-----------------------|--------------------------------|
b|--------0-------------------1-1-|1---1---1p0-----0-h-1-----------|
g|--------0-------------2-0-0-----|2-------2-------2---------------|

|--------------------------------|3--------3-------2-----2-3-2----|
|------------1---1-------1-------|3--------3-------3-----3----3---|
|0---------------0-0-0---0-------|0--------0-------2-----2--------|and back to
|0---h---2-------0---0---0-------|0--------0-------0--------------| Em
|3-------3-----------------------|2----------------0--------------|
|--------------------------------|3----------------2--------------|
The change during "noone's there" line is just this progression for
four measures:
G(Bb) - Am(Cm) - C(Bb) - - -
|3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---|3---3---3-----------------------|
|0---0---0---0---1---1---1---1---|1---1---1-----------------------|

|2---2---2---2---0---0---0---0---|3---3---3-----------------------|
|3---3---3---3-------------------|--------------------------------|
then play G D/F# E into the main progression again.

SONG : Treehouse (version provided by Jeremy)
Here is the intro and verse for "Treehouse":
G Cadd9
1 a & a 2 a & a 3 a & a 4 a & a 1 a & a 2 a & a 3 a & a 4 a & a
e|3-------3-----3-3---3---3---3---|3-------3-----3-3---3---3---3---|

A|5-------5-----3-5---3---5---3---|3-------3-----3-3---3---3---3---|
E|3-------3-----3-3---3---3---3---|--------------------------------|
This pattern is used for almost the whole song, eith the exception
of the end of the chorus which is just D C D C
then back to the above.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SONG : Tree House (version provided by Efren)
This is a pretty easy song - just G C and D chords. Listen
to the cd for the rhythm. You can capo the third fret if you want
(I've seen Bill do that in concert), but it isn't necessary. Chords
are written for no capo.
Main progression:
switch between a G-G7 chord and a Csus2-Cmaj7sus2 chord.
G-G7 Csus2-Cmaj7sus2
3 3
3 3
4 5p4h5
5p3p5 5
5 3
3 X
2nd progression:
(at the "way up in the trees"-type lines)
switch between a D chord and a C-Csus4 chord
D C-Csus4
5 3
7 5h6p5
7 5
7 5
5 3
X X
at the "rotted to the core" part, it's just a G and Csus2 progression
lyrics:(need lots of help)
Seasons change and I have found you
Looks like you've been here a long time
Looks like you're here to stay
And I reason that that's ok
When though, when will you be leaving
You're way up in the trees
Or afloat on the seas
I can't afford your voice
but I have no choice
Your bird drizzles forth twice nightly
And I once held on to you so tightly
You were made of wood and cried that no one understood
But I had splinters in my fingers
Tears welled in my eyes
no surprise
Washed swiftly from the sands
Into my hands
Into my hands
Treehouse, your mind is like a treehouse
And I climb up the shaky ladder
Your bird flies with you in claws of orange hue
I watch you flying over my head
You could not care less
So you got more
Like driftwood from the shore
You were rotten to the core
rotten to the core
Seasons change...

E--------------------------||
This riff is also used throughout the song. Usually the Amin at the end will be
strummed, instead of only the bass note.
Bridge :
During the bridge basically 3 chords are used : Bm (x24432), C5 (x355xx),
and Amin (x02210)
Csus2 Gmaj7
Would not be released
Csus2
Could not be denied
Gmaj7
I tried to say the words
Csus2 Gmaj7
But got tripped up inside
Csus2 Gmaj7
You can murder them with guns
Csus2
Poison them with lye
Gmaj7
You can a persons life
Amin
You can't squelch his pride
Note : Music repeats in the same manner from here....
The city's not my own
This world is not my home
But I'll carry it on my back
As far as my feet will roam
I opened up my eyes
I offered up my coat
I opened up my mouth
But knots tied in my throat
Will not be denied
Will not be denied
Bm
If not for my innocence my
C5
Guilt would stop right here
Bm
Reliving all my life in
C5 Amin
the span of just one year
Bm
My mouth's a hurricane
C5
But something inside just died
Bmin
I'd always just assumed
C5 Amin
My evil would subside
Could I have been misled
Could you have misread
Please don't punish me
For things I have not said
The last's a lonely mile
I'll remember it for a while
You'll never speak to me
Unless it's to revile
Will not be denied
Will not be denied
Will not be denied
Will not be denied
Will not be denied
Denied
Denied
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SONG : Would Not Be Denied (version provided by Efren)
This is probably the only Buffalo Tom song that I find it
easier to play with barre chords. Listen to the recording to
get the right rhythm.
Main progression:
Mainly just a C and Bm progression. Lead up to the C by playing
ascending A and B notes on the fifth string, and add the
minor 6th to the Bm chord:
C Bm-sus6min(? is this the right name?)
3 2h3
5 3
5 4
5 4
0-2-3 2
X X
after repeating this progression a number of times (varies in the song)
play an Am chord. (high to low strings:01220X)
The "Will not be denied" part is the same progression with overdriven
guitars.
2nd progression:
At the "if not for innocence"part is just this progression
(same chord formations without the add-ons)
|Bmin |C |
|Bmin |C Amin | (repeat 2x)
play with overdriven guitars.

the next three lines.

Sadder than sad

She's feeling bad

The monkey's the one who laughs last
Hold me down
Cut me loose when
Nighttime falls

I'm a ball
Bouncing off of a brick wall
Into the day
Going
Going I'm gone
Go away

Gone
I am gone I am gone

SONG : Latest Monkey (version provided by Efren)
Capo the third fret again to play open chords. The chord names are the
relative open chords for when the third fret is capoed, with the real
chord names in parentheses. (Tabs are also with a capo on the third fret)
Opening chord progression is:
| G(Bb) A(C) | C(Eb) G(Bb) | G(Bb) A(C) | C(Eb) |
Progression 2 (played twice through the verses) is:
| G(Bb) C(Eb) | Em/B(Gm/D) Em5(Gm5) | Asus2(Csus2) | C(Eb) |
The progression through the chorus is similar to the opening progression, just
add that high Bb on the first string to all the chords
(i.e. for when the third fret is capoed: G(Bb) A(C) C(Eb) )
e 3 3 3
b 3 2 1
g 0 2 0
d 0 2 2
a 2 0 3
E 3 X X
| G(Bb) | A(C) | C(Eb) | G(Bb) ) (repeat twice)
the mini-solo played before the second verse looks like this:

the "sadder than sad" progression is just the same as the opening progression
(repeat the first two measures 3 times and then play the last two measures to
lead into the next verse)
the song ends on the intro progression.

SONG : Dry Land
I wanted to add my version to this song, if you don't own a capo you could try
something like this. It's probably not perfect but sounds allright to me !
(Lyrics are provided by Efren)
The chords I use (No Capo !) : Gsus2 = 300033
GMaj9 (F# Bass) = 200032
G(No 3rd) (D Bass) = xx0033
D = xx0232
Am = x02210
Intro : Gsus2 GMaj9 G(No 3rd) GMaj9 (repeat twice)
Am d Am d
lyrics:
Gsus2 GMaj9
She comes to me
G(No 3rd) GMaj9
In her pre-washed bright blue jeans
Gsus2 GMaj9
Bag sewn tightly
G(No 3rd) GMaj9
Pursed lips are kissing me
Gsus2 GMaj9
Back up to college
G(No 3rd) GMaj9
Just a few miles down the road
Gsus2 GMaj9
And we remember
G(No 3rd) GMaj9
Something we've never been told
Am D
Come up on dry land
Amin
I've had too much to drink
D
I'm tired and need some sleep
Note : Music repeats in the same manner from here....
Come September
Cold mornings open up
Make incisions
And cut egos will erupt
What did you find
Hidden in your mind's deep recess
When the going gets tough
You and I must take a rest
Come up on dry land
Your coming into your own
But hey that's not my fault
Come up on to this Dry Land
Won't you let me lend a hand
Come up on to this Dry Land
And when I surfaced
Mountains opened up like fish
Breathe through gills now
And I'm making one small wish
With heaven beside me
There is no one can do me harm
But the devil inside me
At least then I can stay warm
Come up on dry land
She understood her fate
You can't take stands
Too late
Come up on to this dry land
Won't you let me lend a hand
Come up on to this dry land

SONG : Torch Singer
The chords I use for this song are : GMaj9 (F# Bass) = 200032
Csus2 = x30033
G = 320033
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern, it isn't difficult.
G GMaj9
These things crawl across my floor
Csus2 GMaj9
I can't use them anymore
G GMaj9
There's a heaven in her band
Csus2 GMaj9 Csus2 GMaj9 Csus2 GMaj9
Alleluias in my hand
Note : Music repeats in the same manner from here....
All my patience love's insides
She's just climbed the stage and died
Lights that rose and fell again
Songs that thinned out near the end Oho
Csus2 G
Her voice travelled off in the end
Though your miles are more than mine
The things I've taken in a bind
It's for certain, it's for sure
I've no use for them no more
Making room within one's self
For another's song to help
And it all comes back to me
As I walk hungover down the street
oho
G GMaj9 Csus2 GMaj9
And it all comes back to me (And it all comes back to me)
And it all comes back to me (And it all comes back to me)
And it all comes back to me (And it all comes back to me)
As I walk hungover down the street
She's a mother in disguise
I look different in her skies
But it's morning so I say
Here's a big red letter day
Her skin's like whitewash like skim milk
Her words sing softly just like silk
There are some things I've got to say
She won't understand anyway
There are miles between our hearts
There's salvation in false starts
Oho
I'm forsaken in the end (I'm forsaken in the end)
I'm forsaken in the end (I'm forsaken in the end)
I'm forsaken in the end (I'm forsaken in the end)
I'm forsaken in the end (I'm forsaken in the end)

LYRICS:
-------
I close my door at night,
But they get in all right,
And she turns on the light.
I, I held her hands so tight,
'Cause words don't come out right,
And she sees things at night.
But me, I'm closer to the door,
I don't get scared no more,
But I don't know the score.
(CHORUS:)
If I could hold them in my hand,
I'd make them understand.
I'm not a haunted mind,
I'm not a thoughtless kind.
If I could put them in a jar,
I know they wouldn't scar,
I do it if I could,
I hope you know I would.
I close my door at night,
But she gets in all right
So I turn on the light.
I held her hand too tight,
Too hard to make it right,
So I could sleep at night.
(END:)
I do it if I could,
I hope you know I would. (3x)

Intro: G D C (X2) ...same chord progression continues throughout verse
The moon was full your whisky sour
Oh girl there's no need to be so down
Cause when you walk with me in the beginning of the day
You say I don't need anything that way
I'm wishing things could be the same
When things got broken you came
My moods were always changing they were blue then brown then grey
You say I don't need anything that way
You say I don't need anything that way
D Em
I'm fighting tooth and nail
A
Against these demons in my head
No matter where I'm sleeping
My history's right there in bed
When things blew open you flew in
I was caught red-handed once again
Was I really robbing you of the best days of your life
I'm sorry I never meant anything that way
G D C
G D C
G D Em C(use 8th fret barre chord)
G D C
The mailman came this way today
He said no sir I've got nothing for you today
Went outside in the morningtime but I got lost along the way
You say I don't need anything that way
No no I don't need anything that way
Oh no I don't need anything that way
I don't need anything that way that way
I don't need anything that way

Edmund Blackadder : "Baldrick, you wouldn't recognise a subtle plan if it
painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a
harpsichord singing 'Subtle plans are here again'."
