That Western Skyline

chorda [A] [Bm] [D] [A]

[A]Oh, Lou- I'd like to [Bm]let you know... [D]that I do not feel [A]welcome
All the birds, the trees, the [Bm]falling snow, [D]no they were not made for [A]me
And all this is where her heart resides... we met in California
She saw cities, promise reaching through my eyes, and she turned her self away

[D]Well how I curse that western [A]skyline
[D]And yet I thanked it for my [A]start
[D]Oh Lou, though my [A]dreams did [D]not come [Bm]true... [D]no they only came a[A]part

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, no my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart

[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [D]oh
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [E]oh
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [D]oh
[C#m]Ohhhh, [A]oh [E]oh [A]oh [E]oh

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 car
An 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
