This is a fairly simple piece, it just requires a lot of bar chords. If you don't want
to use bar chords, you can also play it with a capo, but it doesn't sound as good.
Intro: B E B F#
Autumn BaiEr BitF# caBrries me there
BLess than an hEour ago
BSix hundred mEiles an hour
BAnd still itE feels so slow
G#mI'm trying toF# get back to Burlington
BTo a square in the center Eof town
BTo a spot on a wooden table E
BWhere her feet didn't Ereach the ground
G#mAnd when she kisses me F#it tasted like cinnamon
BAnd her skin smells of cidar and rose E
BAnd when she looked at me we bothE got quiet
BAnd my heart beats so hard we were in Eso close
G#mOnce for such a beautiful while that stF#ill makes me smile
B F# B
And she called me her ugly American
BAnd I would call her my CanEadian flower
BAnd I don't think that we'll everE get there again
BWe had such power E
And sheG#m callF#ed me her ugly American
BAnd I'll remember my CanadiEan rose
BEspecially when the fall comesE to Burlington
BWe were in so close E
G#m F#
Harmonica solo: Same chords as intro
I finally made it this town looks rearranged
BI don't know these people anymore E
BBut in the best ways not mEuch else has changed
BFrom the way it was before E
G#mAnd at least they stF#ill have this certain table
BWhere I once carved a particular name E
BI run my finger through the weatheEred carving
BAnd I almost can feel the same E
G#mAnd my mouth it almost tasF#tes just like cinnamon
BAs I ponder what my pilgrimage means E
BAnd I try to figure out where VEancouver is from here
BAnd I listen to the leaves E
G#mIf only for a beautifuF#l while that still makes me smile
B F# B

BWe were in so close E
G#m F#
And every single hope and dream I could ever conjure up
BPassionately springs in me and aEll things are possible
BPlausible and perfectly both of ours foreveEr after and every day
BAt least it seemed that way E
G#mOnce for such a beauF#tiful while that still makes me smile
B F# B
And she called me her ugly American
BAnd I would call her my CanEadian flower
BAnd I don't think that we'll everE get there again

If you don't want to use bar chords, put a capo on the fourth fret and use G instead of
B, C instead of E, E minor instead of G#m, and D instead of F#.
