The Buffalo Tapes chords by Espen Lind

Key: G

Intro:

G                                   Em
There´s a place by the river in the back of my mind
D                          C
Daddy, you showed me, but by then I was blind
G                         Em           D
Just give me directions, I promise I'll go
C             D            Em           D
Please let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
       C            D             G
Let me see 'cos I'm too young to know

Verse 1:
   G                             Em
I found what I searched for on a warm August night
 D                      C
In a dream in a desert, I was high as a kite
  G                            Em
When I finally learned how to manage my states
  C           D          Em      D
I poured out my heart on the Buffalo Tapes
      C             D       G
On those beautiful Buffalo Tapes


Chorus:
G        Em D        C      Em    D    G
OH LA LA LAI   LA LA LALAI  LAI LALAI


Verse 2:
  G             Em
So give me one if by land
  D             C
Give me two if by sea
    G           Em
Give me three if my cool friends are asking for me
   C        D       Em
Tell them I have gone fishing
    C         D         G
And that no one knows where
    G                          Em
'Cos daddy, they hate me when I am not there
   D                      C
Oh, they hate me when I am not there


Bridge:
D                            C
Oh the tip of my pen has run totally dry
D                           C
From hundreds of letters to you asking why
     D                     Em       D
They sent invitations they hated my stay
        C            D               Em    D
They're shooting my wings while I'm flying away
         C           D     G
They're shooting my wings away


Chorus:
                         N.C.
OH LA LA LAI   LA LA LALAI  LAI LALAI LA LA LALAI

HAUM HAUM HAUM HAUM HAUM


Outro:
                G
Now I'm so happy that I've broken free
                 G
Daddy is it all that I hope it will be
                 D
Will the rain make my river grow into a flow
                  D
Please let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
                   C
Let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
                    G
Give me one if by land
