Intro SI MI SI FA#
SI MI SI FA# SI
Autumn air it carries me there
SI MI
Less than an hour ago
SI MI
Six hundred miles an hour
SI MI
And still it feels so slow
SOL#m FA#
I'm trying to get back to Burlington
SI MI
To a square in the center of town
SI MI
To a spot on a wooden table
SI MI
Where her feet didn't reach the ground
SOL#m FA#
And when she kisses me it tasted like cinnamon
SI MI
And her skin smells of cidar and rose
SI MI
And when she looked at me we both got quiet
SI MI
And my heart beats so hard we were in so close
SOL#m FA#
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
SI FA# SI
And she called me her ugly American
SI MI
And I would call her my Canadian flower
SI MI
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
SI MI
We had such power
SOL#m FA#
And she called me her ugly American
SI MI
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
SI MI
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
SI MI
We were in so close
SOL#m FA#
Harmonica solo: Same chords as intro
I finally made it this town looks rearranged
SI MI
I don't know these people anymore
SI MI
But in the best ways not much else has changed
SI MI
From the way it was before
SOL#m FA#
And at least they still have this certain table
SI MI
Where I once carved a particular name
SI MI
I run my finger through the weathered carving
SI MI
And I almost can feel the same
SOL#m FA#
And my mouth it almost tastes just like cinnamon
SI MI
As I ponder what my pilgrimage means
SI MI
And I try to figure out where Vancouver is from here
SI MI
And I listen to the leaves
SOL#m FA#
If only for a beautiful while that still makes me smile
SI FA# SI
Harmonica solo: Same chords as intro
And she called me her ugly American
SI MI
And I would call her my Canadian flower
SI MI
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
SI MI
We had such power
SOL#m FA#
And she called me her ugly American
SI MI
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
SI MI
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
SI MI
We were in so close
SOL#m FA#
And every single hope and dream I could ever conjure up
SI MI
Passionately springs in me and all things are possible
SI MI
Plausible and perfectly both of ours forever after and every day
SI MI
At least it seemed that way
SOL#m FA#
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
SI FA# SI
And she called me her ugly American
SI MI
And I would call her my Canadian flower
SI MI
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
SI MI
We had such power
SOL#m FA#
And she called me her ugly American
SI MI
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
SI MI
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
SI MI
We were in so close
