(verse 1) 
       C                   F 
I was sad and blue, I was down hearted, too, 
    C               G               C   G   
It seemed like the whole world was lost, 
    C                        F 
And I took a chance, and we happened to dance, 
        C            G       C 
To the tune of the Alabama waltz, 
 
F                  C 
Waltz, waltz, the Alabama waltz, 
D                       G          G7 
There all my fears and tears were lost, 
C                         F  
There in your arms, with all of your charms, 
    C             G       C 
We danced to the Alabama waltz,  
 
(chorus) 
F                  C 
Waltz, waltz, the Alabama waltz, 
D                       G          G7 
There all my fears and tears were lost, 
C                         F  
There in your arms, with all of your charms, 
    C             G       C 
We danced to the Alabama waltz,
