boulder to birmingham chords

capo iii

G D

D G
i don’t want to hear a love song
Em C G
i got on this airplane just to fly
D
and i know there’s life below me
Dsus4 D
but all that you can show me
G ( Gsus4 G * )
is the prairie and the sky

D G
and i don’t want to hear a sad story
Em C G
full of heartbreak and desire
D
the last time i felt like this
Dsus4 G ( Gsus4 G * )
i was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire

Em A C G
and i stood on the mountain , in the night and i watched it burn
D D7 G
i watched it burn , i watched it burn .

G C G
i would rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
D G
i would hold my life in his saving grace .
C G
i would walk all the way from boulder to birmingham
D D7 G
if i thought i could see , i could see your face .

D G
well , you really got me this time
Em C G
and the hardest part is knowing i’ll survive .
D
i have come to listen for the sound
Dsus4
of the trucks as they move down
D G
out on ninety five

Em A
and pretend that it’s the ocean
C G D D7
coming down to wash me clean , to wash me clean
G
baby do you know what i mean

G C G
i would rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
D G
i would hold my life in his saving grace .
C G
i would walk all the way from boulder to birmingham
D D7 G
if i thought i could see , i could see your face .

D D7 G
if i thought i could see , i could see your face .
