ALABAMA - NEIL YOUNG
F G Em7
F G F C
F G Em7
VERSE:
F G Em7
Oh oh Alabama,
F G F C
The devil fools with the best laid plans
F G Em7
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
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.
VERSE:
Oh oh Alabama,
Banjos playing through the broken glass
Windows down in Alabama
See the old folks tied in white ropes
Hear the banjos, don't it take you down home
(At end of verse go from G to a couple of bars of Am)
INTERLUDE:
F G Em7
F G F C
F G Em7
F D E F G
REPEAT CHORUS 1
VERSE:
Oh oh Alabama,
Can I see you and shake your hand
Make friends down in Alabama.
I'm from a new land, I come to you and
See all this ruin, What are you doing?
CHORUS 2:
Am
Alabama - you've got the rest of the Union
D
To help you along
Am
What's going wrong?
F G Em7
