Chords

*Hey! Well, I tried my best to make that tab perfect but in the end of this song I got a little confused so I don`t know if it`s right. If there`s any correction to make, feel free to do it. Another thing: I used an ukulele to find the chords, so it MAY sound strange when played with another instrument. This tab will help you to make another, but more detailed, tab. Intro: Bb7
Bb                             Bb7
Somewhere far away where I roam

F                          F7
There live my buffalo twin in

Bb7
In our twin buffalo home, sweet home

F                                   F7
He takes good care of my native son

       Eb
And he calls me by my native name

Bb                                   Bb7
He, he even lets us drink spring water on Sundays

     Eb            Bb
Hey, 2.99, 2.99 a gallon

Eb            Bb
2.99, 2.99 a gallon

Bb                               Bb7
And somewhere further down the road

Bb                Bb7
Where I also roam

F          F7
There lives my caterpillar cousin

Bb7
Beneath a fancy engraved tomb headstone

F                            F7
In the middle of a southern town

Eb
Beneath a cemetery burial plot

Bb                       Bb7
And he, he don't pay rent no more, no more

       Eb                            Bb
But he sure likes, he sure likes the spot

  Eb                                   Bb
He sure likes the spot, sure likes the spot

  Eb                                   Bb
He sure likes the spot, sure likes the spot

Bb                 Bb7
But in the furthest place I've ever known

Bb               Bb7
Where even I so rarely roam

Eb
There lives a boy who just come back from war

Bb                                     Bb7
His flesh was wounded but he made it back home

F                  F7
His mother calls him by his given name

         Eb
And the neighbors whisper how he prefers to be alone

           Bb              Bb7
And he gets, he gets nightmares about boys

                        Eb           Bb
Dripping blood sold for 2.99, 2.99 a gallon

              Eb           Bb
Come on, just 2.99, 2.99 a gallon

              Eb           Bb
Pay up, yours 2.99, 2.99 a gallon

Bb                   Bb7
But when I get me all real tired

Bb                 Bb7
And I got no more strength to roam

Eb
I catch me a horse driven carriage ride

Bb               Bb7
From a local man named Ethan Frome

F                F7
He don't say much as he tips his hat

       Eb
And he carries his body as heavy as lead
Bb No chord played~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And he could have been still flying through the snow on his sled ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But the wife was in bed and the horses had to be fed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eb           Bb
Besides, it's 2.99, 2.99 a story

              Eb           Bb
Come on, just 2.99, 2.99 a story

Bb7

Bb7
