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)
