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,

E A

E A
I don't want to hear a love song
F#m D A
I got on this airplane just to fly
E
And I know there's life below

But all that it can show me
A
Is the prairie and the sky
E A
And I don't want to hear a sad story
F#m D A
Full of heartbreak and desire
E
The last time I felt like this
A
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
F#m B D A
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn
E A
I watched it burn, I watched it burn.
D A
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
E A
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
D A
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
E A
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
E A
Well you really got me this time
F#m D A
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive.
E
I have come to listen for the sound

Of the trucks as they move down
A
Out on ninety five
F#m B
And pretend that it's the ocean
D A E
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
A
Baby do you know what I mean
D A
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
E A
I would hold my 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.
