Canadian Rose Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Blues Traveler
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#
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
