Buffalo Springfield

Expecting To Fly (ver 4) Chords

Artist: Buffalo Springfield
Song: Expecting to fly
Tabbed by: DJ
23rd June 2013

CAPO: 3rd fret (Sounds in key of C)

Alternatively, detune all your strings one full tone, to D G C F A D,
and play it in D. The chords will still sound in the key of C.
Use the transpose function down (-7) to show those chords.

N.B.  With either option you'll find the original recording is a bit
sharp of concert pitch, and you'll need to tune up slightly higher
to be able to play along.

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
A     = x02220   D  = xx0232   G   = 320033   C     = 332010
Asus2 = x02200   E  = 022100   Am7 = x02010   Cmaj7 = 332000
Em    = 022000   E4 = 022200   D7  = xx0212   Gmaj7 = 320002

[Verse 1]
A                          Em                   D                E    E4 E
   There you stood on the edge of your feather,    expecting to fly,
A                   Em                   D                       E   A
   While I laughed, I wondered whether...   I could wave good - bye-----,
   D                   G
Knowing... that you'd gone------!

[Verse 2]
Am7                D7               G                      C
     By the summer it was healing,     we had said good - bye,
Am7                       D7                G               C
     All the years we'd spent with feeling,    ended with a cry,
Cmaj7        Gmaj7                C
Babe-----,          ended with a cry,
Cmaj7        Gmaj7                A       Asus2   A        Asus2
Babe-------,        ended with a cry-----!      | /  /  /   /  |


[Verse 3]
A              Em                     D                        E     E4  E
   I tried so hard to stand, as I stumbled, and fell to the ground, 
A              Em                       D                      E     A
   So hard to laugh as I fumbled, and reached for the love I found------,
   D            G
Knowing it was gone-----!


[Verse 4]
Am7               D7                G                    C
     If I never lived without you,     now you know I'd die,
Am7              D7                G                   C
     If I never said I loved you,    now you know I'd try,
Cmaj7        Gmaj7                    C
Babe-----,          now you know I'd try,
Cmaj7        Gmaj7                    C   Cmaj7    G
Babe-----,          now you know I'd try, Babe---------!
