<< Back to Buffalo Springfield Song List

Youtube user gtrjoeles deserves full credit for this version, I'm adding it here
because I want an accurate version here and love this song.

Riff played with the E / Asus2 chord sequence (optional ad-lib with
this any way you like). I like to play it for the intro and in between the verses.
E Asus2
e|--0--------------0-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|--0--------------0-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|--1--------------2-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|--2------2-------2------2----------------------------------------------------|
A|--2--2/4---4p0---0--2/4----4p0-----------------------------------------------|
E|--0--------------0-----------------------------------------------------------|
Every tab on here has the wrong last chord in the chorus, it should be a Bbdim played like this:
e|--0------|
B|--2------|
G|--0------|
D|--2------|
A|--1------|
E|--x------|
[Intro]
E Asus2
E Asus2
[Verse 1]
E Asus2
There's somethin' happenin' here
E Asus2
What it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun, over there

Tellin' me I got to beware

E D
Stop, children, what's that sound?
A Bbdim
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

There's battle lines bein' drawn

Gettin' so much resistance from behind

(it's time we)
E D
Stop, children, what's that sound?

Everybody look - what's goin' down?

[Verse 3]

What a field day for the heat

A thousand people in the street

Singin' songs and they carryin' signs

Mostly say, "hooray for our side"

Into your life it will creep

It starts when you're always afraid

Step out of line, the man come and take you away

Everybody look - what's goin..
(we better..)

Stop, children, what's that sound?
A Bbdim
Everybody look - what's goin' down?
