Biography:
The White Buffalo is American musician and singer-songwriter Jake Smith (born in Oregon in 1974/1975, and raised in California).
The White Buffalo is said to be a throwback to the time of hard touring, hard drinking artists who really lived what they sang about. Everything about him is big, from his imposing physical size to his amazing vocal range. He’s as comfortable playing in a dive bar as he is in front of thousands in a European arena.

The White Buffalo - Avalon
Normal tuning (EADGBe)
[Verse]
G
Billy wasn't sober
C G C
He got pulled over in chinatown
G
Liquor on his breath
C
Stuffs a pistol in the cushion
G
Rolls the window down
C G
Oh well, his heart it races like a hundred-yard dash
C G
Stone cold on his face
C G D
Policeman sends him reluctantly on his way
[Verse]
G
Billy wasn't sober
C
He was hungover
G C
It was 10 am
G
Another day of work
C G
Clutching the pillow like his only friend
C
Oh well he's past his prime
G
He's a dinosaur
C G
Steadfast in his ways
C G D
No aces left but he still has cards to play
[Chorus]
G G C G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon
C G D
He's not all the way down
[Verse]
G
Billy's getting older
C G C
The chip on his shoulder's getting heavier
G
Weight of the world
C G
Spins and skids into oblivion
C G
This ain't living, it's waiting 'round to die
C G
There must be another way
C
Under his breath he says,
G D
"Things have got to change"
[Chorus]
G G C G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon
C G D
He's not all the way down
G G C G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon
C G D
He's not all the way down
[Bridge]
C G
Searching but he got no soul
C G
Wishing he could flip a switch
C G C G
Turn his life around and face the fact
D
That life's a bitch
[Chorus]
G G C G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon
C G D
He's not all the way down
G G C G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon
C G D
He's not all the way down
G G C G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon
C G D
He's not all the way down
