Boulder To Birmingham

Emmylou Harris

 FsusBb
 I don't want to hear a love song
 GmEbBb
I got on this airplane just to fly
 F7
And I know there's life below

But all that it can show me
 Bb
Is the prairie and the sky
 FsusBb
 And I don't want to hear a sad story
 GmEbBb
 Full of heartbreak and desire
 F7
The last time I felt like this
 Bb
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
 GmC7EbBb
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn
 F7Bb
I watched it burn, I watched it burn.
 EbBb
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
 F7Bb
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
 EbBb
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
 F7Bb
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
 FsusBb
 Well you really got me this time
 GmEbBb
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive.
 F7
I have come to listen for the sound

Of the trucks as they move down
 Bb
Out on ninety five
 GmC7
And pretend that it's the ocean
 EbBbF7
 coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
 F7Bb
 Baby do you know what I mean
 EbBb
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
 F7Bb
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
 EbBb
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
 F7Bb
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
