Tuning: Standard CAPO I
Okay, so I'm going to post the chords to what I've figured out BUT not post
a picking pattern, as I'm not terribly good at picking/bass notes. But
nevertheless this sounds pretty authentic to some of the live, acoustic
versions they have done. Here are the chords relative to capo --
(CAPO I)
A B9 Dsus2 F#m C#m E E7 D#dim (I think this is the correct name)
e|--0---x---0------2----4----0--0---x----|

Intro: Dsus2 F#m A Dsus2 D#dim
[A]
Oh Lou, I'd like to l[B9]et you know[Dsus2] that I do not feel wel[A]come
[A] All the birds, the trees, the f[B9]alling snow
[Dsus2] No, they were not made for me[A]
[A] And though this is where her h[B9]eart resides,[Dsus2] we met in Califor[A]nia
[A] She saw a city's promise [B9]reaching through my eyes,
[Dsus2] And she turned her self aw[A]ay
[Dsus2] Well how I curse that western s[A]kyline
[Dsus2] And yet I thanked it for my s[A]tart
[Dsus2] Oh [F#m]Lou, no my d[A]reams did not come [Dsus2]true
No, they [D#dim]only came apart[A]
[A] So I followed her here to B[B9]irmingham,
[Dsus2] where the soil is so much [A]richer
[A] And though my aching pride might [B9]guide my hand,
[Dsus2] she did not ask for me to [A]come
[A] So I wait for her all [B9]through the day,
[Dsus2] as if I wait for her sur[A]render
[A] And every time I get her to l[B9]ook my way,
[Dsus2] she says I'm not where I belon[A]g
[Dsus2] But I watch her father preach on Su[A]ndays
[Dsus2] I know the hymnals all by he[A]art
[Dsus2] But oh [F#m]Lou, no my d[A]reams did not come[Dsus2] true
No, they [D#dim]only came apart[A]
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [Dsus2]oh
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [E]oh
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [Dsus2]oh
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [E]oh[E7]
[A] All the snow fall this t[B9]ime of year,
[Dsus2] it's not what Birmingham is u[A]sed to
[A] I get the feeling that I b[B9]rought it here,
[Dsus2] and now I'm taking it away[A]
[Dsus2] But let's share one more drink togethe[A]r,
[Dsus2] before I go reload my c[A]ar
[Dsus2] And oh [F#m]Lou, no my [A]dreams did not come [Dsus2]true
No they [D#dim]only came apart[A]
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [Dsus2]oh (Take me home)
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [E]oh
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [Dsus2]oh
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [E]oh
(End on E)
DONE!!!
