Emmylou Harris   Boulder To Birmingham
I have been watching the videos of Emmylou playing this song on youtube and this is how 
think it is played.

Don?t use your middle finger when you play the "D-chord" in the verses
Add your ring finger and little finger to the "A-chord" at some points. Look at the 
on youtube and you?ll understand what I mean. Or listen to the song.

capo 1,

E A

E                      A
I don't want to hear a love song
F#m		               D              A
I got on this airplane just to fly
      E
And I know there's life below

But all that it can show me
	        A
Is the prairie and the sky
E   				                         A
And I don't want to hear a sad story
F#m	      D             A
Full of heartbreak and desire
         E
The last time I felt like this
				                             A
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
    F#m      	          B        	    D        		        A
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn
	     E  	                          A
I watched it burn, I watched it burn.
	                 D 		                A
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
		                E          		       A
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
	                        D			                A
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
		                    E			                  A
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
E                        A
Well you really got me this time
       F#m              D            A
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive.
               E
I have come to listen for the sound

Of the trucks as they move down
       A
Out on ninety five
    F#m                    B
And pretend that it's the ocean
D                      A                 E
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
                       A
Baby do you know what I mean
		                   D 			           A
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
		                E		                     A
I would hold my life in his saving grace.

I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham

If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
