Birmingham Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Statue of [Am]Liberty
Outside of [G]Birmingham
[Am]Stands by the highway
Raises its [G]lily white hand
[F]Boatloads of people
[Dm]Rush to America's [Am]Birmingham

[Verse 2]
[Am]And you're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
[G]So you get[Am] yourself a job
Just to take something [G]home
[Am]Now there's [F]food on the table
But [Dm]nothing's left over
In [Am]Birmingham

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[Bb]Birm[Bbsus2]ingham is[Bb]
[F]Just a place
[Bb]Birm[Bbsus2] ingham is[Bb]
[F]Just a place to [Am]be

[Verse 4]
[Am]And you're working for nothing
Making [G]a living
[Am]Meanwhile the kingpins
Are making a [G]killing
[F]Boatloads of people
Are [Dm]ready and willing
[Am]In Birmingham

[Verse 5]
[G]We liv[Am]e on the edge
Of a brand new world [G]order
[Am]Breaking down factories
Breaking down [G]borders
The [F]only surprise is
The [Dm]dream's still alive
Down in [Am]Birmingham

[Verse 6]
[Am]
[Bb]Birm[Bbsus2]ingham is[Bb]
[F]Just a place
[Bb]Birm[Bbsus2]ingham is[Bb]
[F]Just a place to [Am]be

[Verse 7]
[Am]
The Statue of Liberty
Outside of [G]Birming[Am]ham
Stands by the highway
And raises its [G]lily white hand
To [F]bless all who pass
The [Dm]rush hour masses
Of [Am]Birmingham

[Outro 1]
[Am][G][Am]
