Oh  Alabama; the devil fools with the best laid plan.
F      G      Em
 Swing low Alabama
F                         D
You got the spare change,  you got to feel strange
E                   F            G
 And now the moment  is all that it meant.

Am
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
       C             D
That's breaking your back.
     Am
Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
      C            D
And a wheel on the track

F G    Em    F       G                   F      C
Oh  Alabama,  banjos playing through the broken glass
F        G       Em
 Windows down in Alabama.
F                  D
  See the old folks  tied in white ropes
E                 F                  G
  Hear the banjo;  don't it take you down home?

Am
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
       C             D
That's breaking your back.
     Am
Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
      C            D
And a wheel on the track

F G    Em    F      G           F          C
Oh  Alabama;  can I see you and shake your hand.
F     G               Em
 Make friends down in Alabama.
F
I'm from a new land
D                  E
 I come to you and  see all this ruin 
F            G
What are you doin'? 

Am
Alabama,
                                 C         D
You got the rest of the union to help you along
       Am          F G Em
What's goin' wrong?
