Capo 3rd
C#m7b5x4545x or x42000
[Intro]
  C    Em    G    C    C#dim    G   Gsus    G(picked)
GOh, Lou, I'd like to C#m7b5let you know Cthat I do not feel weGlcome.
GAll the birds, the trees, the C#m7b5falling snow, Cno they were not made for me.G  
GAnd all this is where her C#m7b5heart resides; Cwe met in CalifoGrnia.
GShe saw cities, promise C#m7b5reaching through my eyes, Cand she turned herself away.G  
CWell how I curse that western skyGline, Cand yet I thanked it for my sGtart.
COh LoEmu, though my Gdreams did not come Ctrue; C#dimno they only came Gapart.
GSo I followed her here to C#m7b5Birmingham, Cwhere the soil is so much Gricher.
GAnd though my aching pride might C#m7b5guide my hand, Cshe did not ask for me to cGome.
GSo I wait for her all C#m7b5through the day, Cas if I wait for her surGrender.
GAnd every time I get her to C#m7b5look my way, Cshe says I'm not where I belong.G  
CBut I watch her father preach on GSundays, CI know the hymnals all by Gheart.
CBut ohEm, Lou, no my Gdreams did not come Ctrue; no they C#dimonly came apart.G  
BmOhhhhG, oDh oh Goh Coh
BmOhhhhG, oDh oh Goh Doh
BmOhhhhG, oDh oh Goh Coh
BmOhhhhG, oDh oh Goh Doh
GAll the snow fall this C#m7b5time of year, Cit's not what Birmingham is Gused to.
GI get the feeling that I C#m7b5brought it here, Cand now I'm taking it away.G  
CBut let's share one more drink toGgether, Cbefore I go reload my Gcar.
COh, EmLou, no my Gdreams did not come Ctrue; no they C#dimonly came apart.G  
BmOhhhhG, oDh oGh oCh oh
Take me home,
BmOhhhhG, oDh oGh oDh oh
BmOhhhhG, oDh oGh oCh oh
BmOhhhhG, oDh oGh oDh oh

G C#m7b5 C G

Oh, Lou, I'd like to let you know that I do not feel welcome.

G C#m7b5 C G

All the birds, the trees, the falling snow, no they were not made for me.

G C#m7b5 C G

And all this is where her heart resides; we met in California.

G C#m7b5 C G

She saw cities, promise reaching through my eyes, and she turned herself away.

C G C G

Well how I curse that western skyline, and yet I thanked it for my start.

C Em G C C#dim G

Oh Lou, though my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.

G C#m7b5 C G

So I followed her here to Birmingham, where the soil is so much richer.

G C#m7b5 C G

And though my aching pride might guide my hand, she did not ask for me to come.

G C#m7b5 C G

So I wait for her all through the day, as if I wait for her surrender.

G C#m7b5 C G

And every time I get her to look my way, she says I'm not where I belong.

C G C G

But I watch her father preach on Sundays, I know the hymnals all by heart.

But oh, Lou, no my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.

But let's share one more drink together, before I go reload my car.
