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

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

Oh, Birmingham
