Canadian Rose Blues Traveler
This is a fairly simple piece, it just requires a lot of bar chords. If you don't want
to use bar chords, you can also play it with a capo, but it doesn't sound as good.
Intro: B E B F#
Autumn [B]ai[E]r [B]it[F#] ca[B]rries me there
[B]Less than an h[E]our ago
[B]Six hundred m[E]iles an hour
[B]And still it[E] feels so slow
[G#m]I'm trying to[F#] get back to Burlington
[B]To a square in the center [E]of town
[B]To a spot on a wooden table[E]
[B]Where her feet didn't [E]reach the ground
[G#m]And when she kisses me [F#]it tasted like cinnamon
[B]And her skin smells of cidar and rose[E]
[B]And when she looked at me we both[E] got quiet
[B]And my heart beats so hard we were in [E]so close
[G#m]Once for such a beautiful while that st[F#]ill makes me smile
[B] [F#] [B]
And she called me her ugly American
[B]And I would call her my Can[E]adian flower
[B]And I don't think that we'll ever[E] get there again
[B]We had such power[E]
And she[G#m] call[F#]ed me her ugly American
[B]And I'll remember my Canadi[E]an rose
[B]Especially when the fall comes[E] to Burlington
[B]We were in so close[E]
[G#m] [F#]
Harmonica solo: Same chords as intro
I finally made it this town looks rearranged
[B]I don't know these people anymore[E]
[B]But in the best ways not m[E]uch else has changed
[B]From the way it was before[E]
[G#m]And at least they st[F#]ill have this certain table
[B]Where I once carved a particular name[E]
[B]I run my finger through the weathe[E]red carving
[B]And I almost can feel the same[E]
[G#m]And my mouth it almost tas[F#]tes just like cinnamon
[B]As I ponder what my pilgrimage means[E]
[B]And I try to figure out where V[E]ancouver is from here
[B]And I listen to the leaves[E]
[G#m]If only for a beautifu[F#]l while that still makes me smile
[B] [F#] [B]
Harmonica solo: Same chords as intro
And she called me her ugly American
[B]And I would call her my Can[E]adian flower
[B]And I don't think that we'll ever[E] get there again
[B]We had such power[E]
And she[G#m] call[F#]ed me her ugly American
[B]And I'll remember my Canadi[E]an rose
[B]Especially when the fall comes[E] to Burlington
[B]We were in so close[E]
[G#m] [F#]
And every single hope and dream I could ever conjure up
[B]Passionately springs in me and a[E]ll things are possible
[B]Plausible and perfectly both of ours foreve[E]r after and every day
[B]At least it seemed that way[E]
[G#m]Once for such a beau[F#]tiful while that still makes me smile
[B] [F#] [B]
And she called me her ugly American
[B]And I would call her my Can[E]adian flower
[B]And I don't think that we'll ever[E] get there again
[B]We had such power[E]
And she[G#m] call[F#]ed me her ugly American
[B]And I'll remember my Canadi[E]an rose
[B]Especially when the fall comes[E] to Burlington
[B]We were in so close[E]
[G#m] [F#]
If you don't want to use bar chords, put a capo on the fourth fret and use G instead of
B, C instead of E, E minor instead of G#m, and D instead of F#.
