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

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

Take me home,
