[C]  [Em]  [G]  [C]  [A]  [G]  [Gsus4] [G]

[G]Oh, Lou- I'd like t[A]o let you know [C]that I do not feel welco[G]me.    [C]      [G]          [G]
[G]All the birds, the trees, the falling [A]snow
[C]No they were not made for me[G].
[G]And all this is where her heart re[A]sides[C]; we met in California[G]
[G]She saw cities, promise reaching through my ey[A]es
[C]And she turned her self awa[G]y

[C]Well how I curse that western skylin[G]e.
[C]And yet I thanked it for my start[G].
[C]Oh lou[G], though my dreams did not come t[C]rue; n[A]o they only came apar[G]t.

So I followed her here to Birmingham, where the soil is so much richer
And though my aching pride might guide my hand, she did not ask for me to come.
So I wait for her all through the day, as if I wait for her surrender.
And every time I get her to look my way, she says I'm not where I belong.

But I watch her father preach on Sundays.
And all the hymnals of my heart.
But oh, Lou, my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.

[D]Ohhh[Em]h, o[D]h oh [Em]oh o[C]h
[D]Ohhh[Em]h, oh[D] oh o[C]h o[D]h
[D]Ohhh[Em]h, o[D]h oh [Em]oh o[C]h
[D]Ohhh[Em]h, oh[D] oh [C]oh o[D]h

All the snow fall this time of year, it's not what Birmingham is used to
I get the feeling that I brought it here, and now I'm taking it away.
But let's share one more drink together, before I go reload my cart
Oh, Lou, no my dreams did not come true- no they only came apart.

Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Take me home,
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
