A B D A D/A A
Oh, Lou- I'd like to let you know that I do not feel welcome.
A B
All the birds, the trees, the falling snow
D A
No they were not made for me.
A B D A
And all this is where her heart resides; we met in California
A B
She saw cities, promise reaching through my eyes
D A
And she turned her self away
D A
Well how I curse that western skyline.
D A
And yet I thanked it for my start.
D F#m A D C#m7b5 A
Oh Lou, though my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.
A B D A D/A A
So I followed her here to Birmingham, where the soil is so much richer
A B D A
And though my aching pride might guide my hand, she did not ask for me to come.
A B D A
So I wait for her all through the day, as if I wait for her surrender.
A B D A
And every time I get her to look my way, she says I'm not where I belong.
D A
But I watch her father preach on Sundays.
D A
I know the hymnals all by heart.
D F#m A D A
But oh, Lou, no my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.

A B D A D/A A
All the snow fall this time of year, it's not what Birmingham is used to
A B D A
I get the feeling that I brought it here, and now I'm taking it away.
D A D A
But let's share one more drink together, before I go reload my car
D F#m A D C#m7b5 A
Oh, Lou, no my dreams did not come true- no they only came apart.
C#m A E A D
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Take me home,
C#m A E A E
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh

Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
