Tuning: EADGBe (normal)
a bit soloing and some riffs throughout the song and I'm not tabbing that guitar.
Notes:
-Don't play the lightest e-string one the C#m-chord. It sounds better without it. 
-I'm not gonna set up the chords on the whole song but just on the first verse and chorus.
The chords are the same at all of them anyway.
EBuffalo Gal,
F#myou've had your fun
BYour button's uAndone
and the tEime's right for slaughter
EBuffalo Gal
You're F#mthirsty and there's no more water
BLike the lamb on the aAltarE  
C#mAnd it's sad to see you looking down and feeling blue
C#mTry your best to get on up and see it through
In a Ewhile you might smile and sF#mee the sunA  
BOww, the dEay has begun
{Chorus}
     C#mAnd BF#muffalo Gal,
they're clAosing doBwn the oEld dance halC#ml
F#mUmmm, Buffalo GAal,
  Bwhat we gonna Edo now?A  
Buffalo Gal,
due to these circumstances
there's no more dances
Buffalo gal,
[Buffalo] all your chances of further romances
will have to be nil
'til I can get it sung
Is a shame your only claim to fame is Jessie James
You know his middle name
That's very strange
Stranger, you knew a friend called the Friendly Ranger
Oh, ya shared the danger
(repeat chorus)
Buffalo Gal,
you must try a big step
You've got a big jump ahead
Buffalo gal,
the show left town
spreading sunshine all around
And it's bad to see ya, ooh, lookin' blue
Dry your eyes and I'll apologise for all the lies
Try a smile and in a while, just in a while
you'll be smiling through
Ooh, Buffalo Gal,
they're closin' down the old dance hall [Buffalo (repeat 10 times) Gal, Gal]
And Buffalo Gal,
oh, you look so good somehow [Buffalo (repeat 9 times) Gal]
Oh Buffalo Gal,
oh, that's such a pretty dress [Buffalo (repeat 8 times) Gal]
Buffalo Gal,
the show left town [Buffalo (repeat 8 times) Gal, Gal]
Buffalo Gal,
take a picture
of Buffalo Gal [Buffalo (repeat 10 times)]
