Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Em][G][C][C#dim][A][G]
Oh, Lou, I'd [D]like to let

[Verse 1]
[C#dim]
[C#m]you kn[C]ow
That I do not [Em]feel wel[G]come
Oh, the birds, [D]the trees,
[C#m]the falling [C]snow
No, they were not made for me
[G]

[Verse 2]
And though this where
[C#dim]her heart [C]resides
We met in Califor[G]nia
She saw our city's promise [C#dim]reaching
through my [C]eyes
And she turned herself away
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
Well, how I cursed that
western sky[G]line[C]
And yet, I thanked it for my [G]start[C]
Oh, [Em]Lou, no, my dream
[G]s did not come t[C]rue
No, they [C#dim]only came apart
[G]

[Verse 4]
So, I followed her here [C#dim]to Birm
[C#m]ingham[C]
Where the soil is so much [G]richer
And though my aching pride
[C#dim]might guide my [C#m]hand[C#dim]
[C]She did not ask for me to come
[G]

[Verse 5]
So, I wait for her all [C#dim]through t[C]he day
As if I wait for her sur[G]render
And every time I get her to [C#dim]look my way
[C]She says I'm not where I b[G]elong

[Verse 6]
[C]But I watch her father preach
[G]on Sundays[C]
I know the hymnals all by [G]heart[C]
But oh [Em]Lou, no, my dream
[G]s did not come t[C]rue
No, they [C#dim]only came apar[G]t

[Verse 7]
Ho- [Bm]o- o- o- home[G][D][G][C]
[Bm]Ho- o- [G]o- [D]o- [G]hom[D]e[Bm]
[G][D][G][C]
[Bm]Ho- o- o- o- home[G][D][G]
[D][G]
Ho- o- o- o- home

[Verse 8]
Oh, the snowfall [C#dim]this time of [A]year
[C]It's not what Birmingham is [G]used to
I get the feeling that [C#dim]I brought
[C]it here
And now I'm taking it [G]away

[Verse 9]
[C]But let's share one more drink toget[G]her
[C]Before I go reload my car[G]t[C]
And oh, [Em]Lou, no,
my [G]dreams did not come [C]true
No, they [C#dim]only came[A] apar[G]t

[Verse 10]
Ho- [Bm]o- o- o- home[G][D][G][C]
Take me home
Ho- [Bm]o- o- o- home[G][D][G][D]
Ho- [Bm]o- o- o- home[G][D][G][C]
Ho- [Bm]o- o- o- home[G][D][G]
