[Intro]
[F] [G] [Em]
[F] [G] [F] [C]
[F] [G] [Em]

[Verse 1]
[F] [G]    [Em]   [F]          [G]              [F]         [C]
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.

[Chorus 1]
[Am]                   [Am7]            [Am]
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
       [C]             [D]
That's breaking your back.
     [Am]                 [Am7]          [Am]
Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
      [C]            [D]
And a wheel on the track

[Verse 2]
[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?

[Chorus 2]
[Am]                   [Am7]            [Am]
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
       [C]             [D]
That's breaking your back.
     [Am]                 [Am7]          [Am]
Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
      [C]            [D]
And a wheel on the track

[Verse 3]
[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'?

[Outro]
[Am]
Alabama,
            [Am7]         [Am]       [C]         [D]
You got the rest of the union to help you along
       [Am]          [F] [G] [Em]
What's goin' wrong?
