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