that western skyline – the dawes
this is wrong , but it works for me . corrections are definitely welcomed if not required .
chorda A Bm D A
[ A ] oh , lou – i’d like to [ Bm ] let you know . . . [ D ] that i do not feel [ A ] welcome
all the birds , the trees , the [ Bm ] falling snow , [ D ] no they were not made for [ A ] me
and all this is where her heart resides . . . we met in california
she saw cities , promise reaching through my eyes , and she turned her self away
[ D ] well how i curse that western [ A ] skyline
[ D ] and yet i thanked it for my [ A ] start
[ D ] oh lou , though my [ A ] dreams did [ D ] not come [ Bm ] true . . . [ D ] no they only came A [ A ] part
so i followed her here to birmingham . . . where the soil is so much richer
and though my aching pride might guide my hand , she did not ask for me to come
so i wait for her all through the day , as if i wait for her surrender
and every time i get her to look my way , she says i’m not where i belong
but i watch her father preach on sundays
and all the hymnals of my heart
but oh lou , no my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart
[ C#m ] ohhhh , [ A ] oh [ E ] oh [ A ] oh [ D ] oh
[ C#m ] ohhhh , [ A ] oh [ E ] oh [ A ] oh [ E ] oh
[ C#m ] ohhhh , [ A ] oh [ E ] oh [ A ] oh [ D ] oh
[ C#m ] ohhhh , [ A ] oh [ E ] oh [ A ] oh [ E ] oh
all the snow fall this time of year , it’s not what birmingham is used to
i get the feeling that i brought it here , and now i’m taking it away
but let’s share one more drink together
before i go reload my car
an oh , lou no my dreams did not come true – no they only came apart
ohhhh , oh oh oh oh
take me home . . .
ohhhh , oh oh oh oh
ohhhh , oh oh oh oh
ohhhh , oh oh oh oh
