Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Broken Arrow” dari Buffalo Springfield.

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]

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?

[Ulangi Intermission]

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.
