That Western Skyline

The Key for the version I have is Bb
The   chBb/ch chF11/ch chEb/ch chBb/ch  just repeats in the 
verses (I didn't bother typing it out each time)

I play the Bb as an E-shaped bar chord with the root at the 6th fret, and I play the Eb 
as an A-shape with a root at the 6th. (the F in the OOO's section is also an A-shape bar chord)


MOST importantly, the chord I'm calling F11 is played :
E--X
A--7
D--8
G--7
B--8
E--X



chBb/chOh, Lou- I'd like to chF11/chlet you know... chEb/chthat I do 
not feel chBb/chwelcome
All the birds, the trees, the F11falling snow, Ebno they were not made for chBb/chme
And though this is where her heart resides... we met in California
She saw cities, promise reaching through my eyes, and she turned her self away

chEb/chWell how I curse that western chBb/chskyline
chEb/chAnd yet I thanked it for my chBb/chstart
chEb/chOh Lou, though my chBb/chdreams did chEb/chnot come 
chF11/chtrue... chEb/chno they only came achBb/chpart

So I followed her here to Birmingham... where the soil is so much richer
And though my aching pride might guide my hand, she did not ask for me to come
So I wait for her all through the day, as if I wait for her surrender
And every time I get her to look my way, she says I'm not where I belong

But I watch her father preach on Sundays
And all the hymnals of my heart
But oh Lou, no my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart

chDm/chOhhhh, chBb/choh chF/choh chBb/choh chEb/choh
chDm/chOhhhh, chBb/choh chF/choh chBb/choh chF/choh
chDm/chOhhhh, chBb/choh chF/choh chBb/choh chEb/choh
chDm/chOhhhh, chBb/choh chF/choh chBb/choh chF/choh

All the snow fall this time of year, it's not what Birmingham is used to
I get the feeling that I brought it here, and now I'm taking it away

But let's share one more drink together
Before I go reload my car
An oh, Lou no my dreams did not come true- no they only came apart

Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Take me home...
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
Ohhhh, oh oh oh oh
