Intro: B F# E B (plus harmonica)
BEF#BFEBBEFBBF#E
Autumn air it carries me there
BF#E
Less than an hour to go
BF#E
Six hundred miles an hour
G#mF#
And still it feels so slow
BF#E
I'm trying to get back to Burlington
BF#E
To a square in the center of town
BF#E
To a spot on a wooden table
G#mF#
Where her feet didn't reach the ground
BF#E
And when she kisses me it tasted like cinnamon
BF#E
And her skin smelled of cider and rose
BF#E
And when she looked at me we both got quiet
G#mF#
And my heart beats so hard we were in so close
BF#B
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
BF#E
And she called me her ugly American
BF#E
And I would call her my Canadian flower
BF#E
And I don't think that we'll ever be there again
G#mF#
We had such power
BF#E
And she would call me her ugly American
BF#E
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
BF#E
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
G#mF#
We were in so close
Harmonica solo: intro chords
BF#E
I finally made it this town looks rearranged
BF#E
I don't know these people anymore
BF#E
But in the best ways not much else has changed
G#mF#
From the way it was before
BF#E
And at least they still have this certain table
BF#E
Where I once carved a particular name
BF#E
I run my fingers through the weathered carving
G#mF#
And I almost can feel the same
BF#E
And my mouth it almost tastes just like cinnamon
BF#E
As I ponder what my pilgrimage means
BF#E
And I try to figure out where Vancouver is from here
G#mF#
And I listen to the leaves
BF#B
If only for a beautiful while that still makes me smile
BF#E
And she called me her ugly American
BF#E
And I would call her my Canadian flower
BF#E
And I don't think that we'll ever be there again
G#mF#
We had such power
BF#E
And she would call me her ugly American
BF#E
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
BF#E
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
G#mF#
We were in so close
Harmonica solo: verse chords X3
Second and third time softer
BF#E
And every single hope and dream I could ever conjure up
BF#E
Passionately springs in me and all things are possible
BF#E
Plausible and perfectly both of ours forever after and every day
G#mF#
At least it seemed that way
BF#B
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
BF#E
And she called me her ugly American
BF#E
And I would call her my Canadian flower
BF#E
And I don't think that we'll ever be there again
G#mF#
We had such power
BF#E
And she would call me her ugly American
BF#E
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
BF#E
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
G#mF#
We were in so close
