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

It was in the 

              
wilderness and

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

I have come to

 
 listen for th

e sound

Of the trucks as they move down
       
Out on ninety

And pretend th

             
at it's the oc

Baby do you kn

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
