Bruce Cockburn - Birmingham Shadows

This is my first attempt at this whole thing and I don't have it correct, but

my

hope is that someone will take this and fix it because I have been dying to

know

the correct way to play this fantastic song! And if someone feels so

inclined,

please tab out the lead part, too! I am 99% the verse is right, but the

chorus

chords are just an educated guess based on some jazz theory -wish I had stuck

with music class...

The lyrics I got off of http://cockburnproject.net/songs&music/bs.html.

The song is the work and creation of Bruce Cockburn on the album Charity of

Night

- easily his best song!

Happy, moody playing!

Capo second fret

Verse: Em7 (he has some interesting walk-up that I haven't figured

could? - listen for rhythm

out...maybe you
Birmingham
Just behind the mountain

Sparse streelamps glow in hot half-moon haze

Shadows shorten into little black pools that elongate behind

We walk, talk some, laugh some

Worked hard, now wired, and hanging out

I'm curious what you might be all about

Curious, too, what that dark-shape in the hard shining cruiser might do

And you have no idea what you're getting

out of of your own curiosity and tense energy

Tattoo on chest like the key to the puzzle of your pumping heart

Wearing your shadows all over your sleeve

Wearing the role of young upstart
Chorus: Gmaj A7sus4/E Cadd9 A7sus4/E (These are
close but not right)
