Bus To Birmingham Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]She[A] di[G]dn'[Asus4]t[D][Em][Bm]
see [D]me see her cryin'
As she sat [Em]there by the window
A [G]southbound Greyhound
leavin' [D]town[A]
The hardest [D]thing I've ever done
Was to walk [Em]away and let
that woman go
?Cause [G]she came close to
turnin' me [Asus4]around[A]
Now [D]I know she missed her mama
?Cause that's [Em]the kind
of life she comes from
Ain't no [G]kind of life I'm ever gonna [D]have
[A]She sai[Asus4]d she'd call
[D]me from the station
But I'll [Em]be gone before she gets there
And I'll [G]see her every time I'm
lookin' [Asus4]back[A]

[Verse 2]
Heaven [G]knows I ain't no [D]an gel
And I don't [A]al ways do
the right [D]thing
And right [G]now I know that
[D]she don't understand
[Em]But [A]I'll sle[G]ep better
know[D]in'
The only [Dm]thing I ever [Em]loved
Is in that [G]bus [Asus4]to Birmin[A]gham
[D]

[Verse 3]
Tonight I'll slip back in the shadows
And [Em]I'll sip a glass of whiskey
And I'll [G]try to keep from
whisperin' [D]your name
[A]But there's som[D]e high
ways I ain't drivin'
And there's [Em]some towns that
I ain't lived in
And there's [G]some times that I can't
get out of the [Asus4]rain[A]
And lord [D]I can't bear to break
Another [Em]promise that I made her
So i [G]made out like I wanted
her [D]to go[Asus4]
And I'm [D]better off believin'
That she's [Em]better off without me
?cause I don't [G]want her to see
me do her [Asus4]wrong[A]

[Verse 4]
Heaven [G]knows I ain't no an[D]gel
And I don't al[A]ways do
the right [D]thing
And right [G]now I know that
[D]she don't understand
[Em]But [Asus4]I'll sleep[A][G]
better know[D]in'
The only [Dm]thing I ever [Em]loved
Is in that [G]bus [Asus4]to Birmingha[A]m
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Heaven knows I d[D]on't
[A]always do the right [D]thing
And right [G]now I know that [D]she don't
under[Em]stand[Asus4][A]
But [G]I'll sleep better know[D]in'
The only [Dm]thing I ever [Em]loved
Is on that [G]bus [A]to [G]Bir[Asus4]mingham[A]

[Outro 1]
