Emmylou Harris Boulder To Birmingham
I have been watching the videos of Emmylou playing this song on youtube and this is how
think it is played.
Don´t use your middle finger when you play the "D-chord" in the verses
Add your ring finger and little finger to the "A-chord" at some points. Look at the
on youtube and you´ll understand what I mean. Or listen to the song.
capo 1,
I don't want t
o hear a love
song
I got on this
airplane just
to fly
And I know the
re's life belo
w
But all that it can show me
Is the prairie
and the sky
And I don't wa
nt to hear a s
ad story
Full of heartb
reak and desir
e
The last time
I felt like th
is
It was in the
wilderness and
the canyon wa
s on fire
And I stood on
the mountain
in the night a
nd I watched i
t burn
I watched it b
urn, I watched
it burn.
I would rock m
y soul in the
bosom of Abrah
am
I would hold m
y life in his
saving grace.
I would walk a
ll the way fro
m Boulder to B
irmingham
If I thought I
could see, I
could see your
face.
Well you reall
y got me this
time
And the hardes
t part is know
ing I'll survi
ve.
I have come to
listen for th
e sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Out on ninety
five
And pretend th
at it's the oc
ean
coming down to
wash me clean
, to wash me c
lean
Baby do you kn
ow what I mean
I would rock m
y soul in the
bosom of Abrah
am
I would hold m
y life in his
saving grace.
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
