CAPO: 2nd Fret



[CHORUS:]
G                C                   G
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 
                 D                 G
I would hold my life in his saving grace
              C                          G
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
                     D                        G       D
If I thought I could see, if I could see your face


[VERSE 1:] 
N.C.                      G          ~ Em
I don't want to hear your love song 
               C                 G
I got on this airplane just to fly 
      D
And I know there's life below me
                       C 
But all that you can show me 
     ~       ~       G   C G C
Is a prairie and the sky 


[VERSE 2:] 
N.C.                           G      ~ Em
And I don't want to hear a sad story 
        C                 G
Full of heartbreak and desire 
         D
The last time I felt like this 
                   C 
I was in the wilderness
        ~       ~       G   C G C
And the canyon was on fire 


[PRE-CHORUS:]
    Em                 A     D C
And I stood on the mountain
                              G
In the night and I watched it burn 
             D    
I watched it burn
             G
I watched it burn


[CHORUS:]
                C                    G
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 
               D                  G
I would hold my life in his saving grace
              C                          G
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
                     D                        G      D
If I thought I could see, if I could see your face


[VERSE 3:] 
N.C.                    G          ~
Well, you really got me this time 
        Em                C             G
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive
               D
I have come to listen for the sound 
                           C 
Of the trucks as they roll down 
       ~      ~   G   C G C
Out on ninety-five__


[PRE-CHORUS:]
     Em                  A      D C
I pretend that it's the ocean 
                       G
Coming down to wash me clean
             D    
To wash me clean 
                         G
Baby, do you know what I mean 


[CHORUS:]
                C                    G
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 
               D                  G
I would hold my life in his saving grace
              C                          G
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
                     D                        G     D
If I thought I could see, if I could see your face

I pretend that it's the ocean 
                       G
Coming down to wash me clean
             D    
To wash me clean 
                         G
Baby, do you know what I mean
