Boulder to Birmingham (video)

C - G - D - G - D

G - Em

1. I don’t want to hear your love song,

C G

I got on this aeroplane just to fly,

D D7

and I know there’s life below me, but all that you can show me

G - D

is the prairie and the sky.

G - Em

2. And I don’t wanna hear a sad story,

C G

full of heartbreak and desire,

D D7

the last time I felt like this I was in the wilderness

G

and the canyon was on fire.

Em A7 - C G

I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn,

D G - G7

I watched it burn, I watched it burn.

C G

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham,

D G - G7

I would hold my life in his saving grace.

C G

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham,

D G - D

if I thought I could see, I could see your face.

G

3. Well, you really got me this time,

Em C G

and the hardest part is knowing I’ll survive,

D D7

I have come to listen for the sound of the trucks as they move down,

G

out on ninety-five.

Em A7 - C G

And pretend that it’s the ocean, coming down to wash me clean,

D G - G7

to wash me clean, baby do you know what I mean?

C G

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham,

D G - G7

I would hold my life in his saving grace.

C G

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham,

D G - G7

if I thought I could see, I could see your face.
