John Jameson - The White Buffalo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: SnowLeopard84
Tuning: Standard
This is my first tab, I love this song and couldn't find the chords anywhere, so I decided to work it out. It's
a simple song to play once you work out when to lift certain strings on certain chords.
When playing C chord in the intro and verses The White Buffalo releases the D string at times, and he releases
the G string when playing the last few strums of the F chord in the intro and verses, too. Listen to the song
to get the rhythm. The only part of the song where her doesn't seem to release any strings during chords is
the 'Oh I need you...' to '...there's only shame.' part near the end of the song.
For the C chord in the intro and verses he alternates between this...
e|----0------------|
B|----1------------|
G|----0------------|
D|----2------------|
A|----3------------|
E|----x------------|
...and this...
e|----0------------|
B|----1------------|
G|----0------------|
D|----0------------|
A|----3------------|
E|----x------------|
The F chord he seems to play throughout the song is this (called F(open) I think)...
e|----x------------|
B|----1------------|
G|----2------------|
D|----3------------|
A|----3------------|
E|----x------------|
...and then the last few strums of the F he plays this...
e|----x------------|
B|----1------------|
G|----0------------|
D|----3------------|
A|----3------------|
E|----x------------|

C C
Well, I'm sloshed and seeing the stars, stumbling between bars,
C C
Curse you Jameson, you have destroyed me once again.
F C
But I need you, I need you now.
C C
I'm Bruised and busted now, got to get to you somehow.
C C
Well, I can't stop before I start, to dry this drowning heart.
F C
Oh, I need you now, I need you now.
G F C
I think I drank more than my fill, and that explains the evil in my eye.
C C
I'm lost in the middle of a drunk, I'm not sinking, I have sunk,
C C
To the shadows at your back door, you scream you don't need me no more.
F C
Oh, I need you now, I need you now.
G F C
In this fog there's just John and me, help me find the remedy tonight.
G F C
And when there's only wrong in me there's nothing that can lead me to the light.
Am C
Oh, I need you, like the flowers need the rain.
Am C
I don't need you, there's no flowers only pain.
F C
Behind the empty of your eyes I see the sadness and the blame,
F C C
In the darkness of my heart, there's only shame.
C C ...to fade.
Well I'm sloshed and seeing the stars.
