Broken Arrow Chords & Tabs
Buffalo Springfield: Broken Arrow, written by Neil Young
For Intro, see Mr. Soul tab
G Bm Em C
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down,
Am D
And when it was over it felt like a dream,
Am D
They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream,
G G/F# Em
The agents had paid for the black limousine
C D
That waited outside in the rain.
Chorus:
G Gsus
Did you see them,
G C
did you see them?
F Fmaj7 F6
Dm G7
Did you see them in the river?
Bb Dm Em F Em
They were there to wave to you.
Dm G7
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Bb Dm Em
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
F Em
That were crowded and narrow,
F G
Held a broken arrow?
