Subject: CRD/LYR: I'm Allowed - Buffalo Tom

Yesterday I posted a request for the lyrics to I'm allowed by Buffalo

Tom. Thanks to Ben McTernan (bc80233@bingsuns.cc.binghamton.edu) I'm

able to post the song (along with the chords I figured out myself).

Just like an earlier post, I know the song from a semi-unplugged album

from a Dutch radio show (2 Meter Sessies, vol.5, Radio Records

477702-2, distributed by Sony), so it can slightly differ from the

original.

I'm allowed - Buffulo Tom

G - G/F#

Em Am

Waited for an answer

Am/B C G G/F#

Cause I waited twenty-five years

Em Am

They stopped my bleeding

Am/B C G G/F#

But could never stop all those tears

Em Am

Waiting for the day when

Am/B C G G/F#

You came out from beneath all that weight

Em Am

I've tried to lift it

Am/B C G Am C

But it seems I got there too late

G Am C

Just too late

G Am C

Just too late

G Am C

I'm allowed

G - G/F#

Came to the party

But I got my own signals crossed

Thought I was welcome

But I felt like I should get lost

Know that I'm older

'Cause I feel that everywhere

I could talk to no one

'Cause I knew not one person there

No one's there

They just stared

'Cause they're allowed

As vivid as a car-wreck

Watch them dripping off highway ramps

She came to me smiling

With her heart underneath both her hands

She spoke of a French boy

At least two times through the night

It could have been the liquor

Or the music, but that is alright

That's alright

She's allowed

I'm allowed

I'm allowed

I'm allowed
