*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. That`s it! Enjoy my first tab!*

Intro: Bb7

Bb Bb7
Somewhere far away where I roam
F F7(or Fm)
There live my buffalo twin in
Eb
In our twin buffalo home, sweet home
F F7(or Fm)
He takes good care of my native son
Eb
And he calls me by my native name
F F7(or Fm)
He, he even lets us drink spring water on Sundays

Eb Bb
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(or Fm)
There lives my caterpillar cousin
Eb
Beneath a fancy engraved tomb head stone
F F7(or Fm)
In the middle of his southern town
Eb
Beneath a cemetery burial plot
F F7(or Fm)
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, likes the spot
Eb Bb
He sure likes the spot, likes the spot
Eb Bb
He sure likes the spot, 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(or Fm)
His mother calls him by his given name
Eb
And the neighbors whisper how he prefers to be alone
F F7(or Fm)
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(or Fm)
He don't say much as he tips his hat
Eb
And he carries his body as heavy as lead
~~~~no chord played~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And he could have been flying through the snow on his sled
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But he 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 gallon
Eb Bb
Pay up yours 2.99 2.99 a story
Eb Bb
Come on baby 2.99 2.99 a story

Bb
Come on yours
Bb7(or Bb)
2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99
Bb7(or Bb)
2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99....
F F7(or Fm)
Oh, 2.99 2.99 a story
Bb Eb
Pay up yours 2.99 2.99 a story
Bb Eb
Pay up yours just 2.99 2.99 a story
Eb F F7(or Fm) Bb
Oh man it's just 2.99 2.99... a gallon
