Emmylou Harris - Boulder To Birmingham
----->(Capo 1st fret)<-----
(verse 1)
Esus A
I don't want to hear a love song
Gm D A
I got on this airplane just to fly
E7
And I know there's life below
But all that it can show me
A
Is the prairie and the sky
(verse 2)
Esus A
And I don't want to hear a sad story
Gm D A
Full of heartbreak and desire
E7
The last time I felt like this
A
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
Gm C7 D A
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn
E7 A
I watched it burn, I watched it burn.
(chorus)
Eb A
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
E7 A
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
D A
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
E7 A
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
(verse 3)
Esus A
Well you really got me this time
F#m D A
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive.
E7
I have come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
A
Out on ninety five
F#m B7
And pretend that it's the ocean
D A E7
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
E7 A
Baby do you know what I mean
(chorus)
Eb A
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
E7 A
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
D A
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
E7 A
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
