Autumn air it carries me there
            	    
Less than an hour to go
           
Six hundred miles an hour
              	
And still it feels so slow
                         
I'm trying to get back to Burlington
                             
To a square in the center of town
                   
To a spot on a wooden table
                              
Where her feet didn't reach the ground
                                   
And when she kisses me it tasted like cinnamon
                               
And her skin smelled of cider and rose
                                     
And when she looked at me we both got quiet
                                    
And my heart beats so hard we were in so close
                                                 
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
                        

                          
And she called me her ugly American
                              
And I would call her my Canadian flower
                                     
And I don't think that we'll ever be there again
              
We had such power
                            
And she would call me her ugly American
                             
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
                                 
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
                 
We were in so close


Harmonica solo: intro chords


                                  
I finally made it this town looks rearranged
                         
I don't know these people anymore
                           
But in the best ways not much else has changed
                    
From the way it was before
                                     
And at least they still have this certain table
                              
Where I once carved a particular name
                                    
I run my fingers through the weathered carving
                       
And I almost can feel the same
                                       
And my mouth it almost tastes just like cinnamon
                              
As I ponder what my pilgrimage means
                               
And I try to figure out where Vancouver is from here
                 
And I listen to the leaves
                                               
If only for a beautiful while that still makes me smile


                          
And she called me her ugly American
                              
And I would call her my Canadian flower
                                     
And I don't think that we'll ever be there again
              
We had such power
                            
And she would call me her ugly American
                             
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
                                 
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
                 
We were in so close


Harmonica solo: verse chords  X3
			Second and third time softer


                                                  
And every single hope and dream I could ever conjure up
                                          
Passionately springs in me and all things are possible
                                                
Plausible and perfectly both of ours forever after and every day
                 
At least it seemed that way
                                                 
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile


                          
And she called me her ugly American
                              
And I would call her my Canadian flower
                                     
And I don't think that we'll ever be there again
              
We had such power
                            
And she would call me her ugly American
                             
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
                                 
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
                 
We were in so close
