Boulder to Birmingham Emmylou Harris
[Fsus]I don't want to hear a [Bb]love song
I got [Gm]on this airplane j[Eb]ust to [Bb]fly
And I [F7]know there's life below
But all that it can show me
Is the pr[Bb]airie and the sky
[Fsus]And I don't want to hear a sad st[Bb]ory
[Gm]Full of he[Eb]artbreak and de[Bb]sire
The last [F7]time I felt like this
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on [Bb]fire
And [Gm]I stood on the [C7]mountain [Eb]in the night and I watched it [Bb]burn
I watched it [F7]burn, I watched it [Bb]burn.
I would rock my [Eb]soul in the bosom of [Bb]Abraham
I would hold my [F7]life in his saving [Bb]grace.
I would walk all the [Eb]way from Boulder to B[Bb]irmingham
If I thought I could [F7]see, I could see your f[Bb]ace.
[Fsus]Well you really got me this [Bb]time
And the [Gm]hardest part is [Eb]knowing I'll [Bb]survive.
I have come to [F7]listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Out on ninety [Bb]five
And [Gm]pretend that it's the [C7]ocean
[Eb]coming down to wash me [Bb]clean, to wash me [F7]clean
[F7]Baby do you know what I [Bb]mean
I would rock my [Eb]soul in the bosom of Abra[Bb]ham
I would hold my [F7]life in his saving [Bb]grace.
I would walk all the [Eb]way from Boulder to Birmin[Bb]gham
If I thought I could [F7]see, I could see your [Bb]face.
