BREAKFAST IN BIRMINGHAM As recorded by Tanya Tucker feat. Brandi Carlile (From the 2023 Album SWEET WESTERN SOUND) [Intro] D G Bm G A [Verse 1]
              D
Just a little static

                G
Breakin’ up the Beatles

D
AM wakeup Tuesday mornin’ tunes

A                D
It’s a turquoise-blue good mornin’

                G
With the copper eagle flying’

                     D
Whippin’ through the plains

                 A           D
North across the motel-rendezvous
[Verse 2]
D
You know me, I’m still a-movin’

                G
Just as slow as ol’ molasses

D                                  A
Bacon cooked up good and crisp for gone

            D
Moved in to Alabama

            G
In a purple Firebird

                 D
Looking for some love

                A                D
Looking for the words to write a song
[Chorus]
            A
As cheap as gas is here

              G
I will look beyond my longing

    Bm           G              A
The extra dollar doesn’t mean a damn

A
If I get clear of Jasper

             G
And all this dixie thunder

         D                    A              D
I’ll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham
[Interlude] Bm G A [Verse 3]
               D
Hippies on the shoulder

                         G
Yeah, they’re at a place hearabouts

        D                              A
They’re tie-dyed and golden-haired and free

             D
All the motorcycle cowboys

            G
Highway two-sixty-nine’ers

               D
Pullin’ up the shades

                      A          D
And shuttin’ down the rebel history
[Verse 4]
D
Oh me, I’m still a-blowin’

                     G
Through the same old C-sharp harp

    D                          A
Old hymns and Arthur Alexander songs

              D
Jakey Hess is up in Heaven

                 G
Together they’ll both be singin’

                 D
Singin’ with the Lord above you

A              D
Best be movin’ on
[Chorus]
            A
As cheap as gas is here

              G
I will look beyond my longing

    Bm           G              A
The extra dollar doesn’t mean a damn

A
If I get clear of Jasper

             G
And all this dixie thunder

         D                    A              D
I’ll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham

            A
As cheap as gas is here

              G
I will look beyond my longing

    Bm           G              A
The extra dollar doesn’t mean a damn

A
If I get clear of Jasper

             G
And all this dixie thunder

         D                    A              D
I’ll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham
[Outro]
                              A              Bm
I’ll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham

         D                    A              G
I’ll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham

           D
Oh, Birmingham
