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

C                                   G
Well how I curse that western skyline.
C                                G
And yet I thanked it for my start.
C     G                                C     A                    G
Oh lou, though my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.

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   Em  D    Em  C
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
D   Em   D    C  D    
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
D   Em  D    Em  C
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
D   Em   D   C   D   
Ohhhh, oh oh oh 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 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
