            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? 

--Intermission #1--
G          Bm         Em     C
Eighteen years of American dream, 
Am                            D
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall. 
    Am                      D
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall, 
       G        G/F#       Em            
His mother had told him a trip was a fall, 
      C                     D
And don't mention babies at all. 
Chorus:
G                Gsus
Did you see him,
G        C
did you see him? 

F Fmaj7 F6  F Fmaj7  F6

Dm              G7
Did you see him in the river? 
Bb              Dm      Em  F  Em
He was 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?

--Intermission #2--
 
G                  Bm           Em      C
The streets were lined for the wedding parade, 
Am                                      D
The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song, 
Am                              D
The black covered caisson her horses had drawn 
G              G/F#          Em             
Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn. 
       C                         D
They married for peace and were gone.
Chorus: 
         G          Gsus
Did you see them,   
G         C
did you see them? 

F  Fmaj7  F6  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?
