KEY A


VERSE 1

-5b  6   -5b   7  7  -5b  
She was still on my mind 

 6   6   -5b    7    -7   -5b
when I crossed the state line

4    4    6  5  6   6   6   4
I walked out a lit-tle too fast

-5b 7    7    -7     6 -5b 7   7  -7
I said some things that I did-n't mean

 6  6   8     8    6  7    7    5
And I should have ta-ken them back

4   4   -2b  -4 -4  -4  4      
But I knew when I said them 

 7    -5b  -7 -7  -7   7    -6b
that voice in my head whis-pered

6    8    -7  6  -7  -6b  6
Man when are you gon-na learn

 6   -5b  7   7   -5b  6   -5b  7    -7   -5b
You told her good-bye and left with your pride

 6     6    -7 -6  6   -7    -4
But you're gon-na eat those words


CHORUS

 6   6   -7  7   -7   8    -7  -7  6   8    7
And now I'm hav-ing break-fast in Bir-ming-ham

-5b    6  -6b  6  6    4
Tried to swal-low my pride

6  7  -7  6   -7  -7  6  8  7
I got a plate-ful of mem-o-ries

-5b -5b  6   -6b 6  4
And not much ap-pe-tite

-5     -5    -5  5    5   -4
There ain't noth-ing like a 

3     -4  4  -4  4   3  3   3   -4 -4  4 3  
Cold cup of cof-fee and a stale a-pol-o-gy

-2b  -3b 4   -2b   -3b  4   3  5    4    
I'm hav-ing break-fast in Bir-ming-ham

  5   -4  -4  4   2  
She's in Ten-nes-see

ENJOY!!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
