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

Listen to the strumming pattern, it's not difficult at all.
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---------------|

C(Bb) - - - G(Bb) - D/F#(F/A)
|--------------------------------|3--------3-------2-----2-3-2----|

|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.

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)
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.

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

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.

Album: Big Red Letter Day by Buffalo Tom (version 0.90, Juli 1994)-
Compilation by P.A. van Elsas (email : a.vanelsas@io.tudelft.nl) Efren Leonida (email : eleonida@mail.sas.upenn.edu) Menno Luitjes (email : M.Luitjes@TWI.TUDelft.NL) Jeremy Price (email : etljype@etlxd20.ericsson.se) Ed Cheng (email : ascheng@netcom.com) Fred Hamilton (email : Fred_M_Hamilton@cup.portal.com)-
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.-
CHANGES : Added Sodajerk, Treehouse, Late at night, Dry Land, and Torch Singer. Added more versions of certain songs. Changed many chord names using ChordMagic posted on the net. since v0.75 : Added Anything that way, changed some more lyrics, added yet another version (sort of) of I'm Allowed ! since v0.85 Changed MANY lyrics thanks to Fred who had the lyrics sheets !-
SONG : Sodajerk (version provided by Efren)-
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. WaitGmed for an answerCsus2
But I EbMaj9waited for 25 Bbmyears
GmThey stopped my blCsus2eeding
But EbMaj9could never stop all Bbmthose tears
I waGmited for the day when Csus2

I trGmied to lift iCsus2t
But it EbMaj9seems I got there too
Bb5Late C5 Eb5
JuBb5st to laC5te Eb5
JuBb5st to laC5te Eb5
Cause Bb5I'm C5allo___Eb5______weBb5d
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.-
SONG : Treehouse (version provided by Jeremy) Here is the intro and verse for "Treehouse":-
SONG : Would not be denied Intro Riff : WoCsus2uld not be releasedGmaj7
Could nCsus2ot be denied
I triedGmaj7 to say the words
But got trCsus2ipped upGmaj7 inside
YoCsus2u can murder them with guns Gmaj7
PoisoCsus2n them with lye
You can a peGmaj7rsons life
You Amincan'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
C5Guilt would stop right here
ReBmliving all my life in
the C5span of just one Aminyear
MyBm mouth's a hurricane
But C5something inside just died
I'Bmind always just assumed
My C5evil would subAminside
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.-
SONG : Latest Monkey Intro : Bb5The newest clown Eb5
D5He cries an old type of tears C5
WatchEb5 them fall
Bb5There they lie Eb5
D5Crispy ancient and they leak C5
FoEb5rmaldahyde
Bb5Go........C5ing
Eb5Going I'm Bb5gone
Bb5Go C5away
Eb5Going Bb5
Note : Music repeats in the same manner from here....
His tears they sit
Crusty rusted in a box
Inside a drawer
Grandpa's news
Fragile words are yellowed through
Forever more
Going
Going I'm gone
Go away
Going
Note : After this chorus, repeat the intro riff and then repeat this during
the next three lines.
Bb5Sadder than C5sad
Eb5She's feeling Bb5bad
Bb5The monkey's the one who C5laughs Eb5last
Hold me down
Cut me loose when
Nighttime falls
And lifts away
I'm a ball
Bouncing off of a brick wall
Into the day
Going
Going I'm gone
Go away
Going
Gone
I am gone I am gone
Go away
Going

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

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
Csus2Her voice travelled off in the end G
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
AnGd it all coGMaj9mes back to me (AnCsus2d it all coGMaj9mes 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)
