John Cale - Buffalo Ballet (1974)
Chords 12/8-2013 by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
The verses and choruses all have the same chord progressions, so I'm only
including chords above the first one of each.
Intro:
When Abilene was young and gay
And thunder storms filled up the day
The cattle roamed outside the town
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping 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
We all joined in and we'll all hold hands
Yes, we'll all join in to help run the land
Then soldiers once, long, long ago
Rode 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
(Repeat chorus until song fades out)
