E
at the bama breeze ,
Bsus2
you can shoot some pool down there ,
A
you can act a fool down there ,
E
you can play it cool down there . . .

E
at the bama breeze ,
Bsus2
you can drink some beer down there ,
A
argue , laugh and cheer down there ,
E
pass another year down there . . .

1st bridge :

C#m
jimmy got caught ,
A
somking a joint out behind the bar ,

sitting in his car;
E
and they took him to jail ,
A
the tip jar paid his bail . . .

C#m
in 1984 ,
A
mick jagger passed through town ,

bought the house a round;
E
signed his name on the wall ,
A
in the ladies bathroom stall;
C#m A
yeah . . .

E
stumbled out with the sun down there . . .

2nd bridge :

C#m
saturday night ,
A
the bouncer brady lets the ladies in free ,

with the fake id;
E
and a short enough skirt ,
A
yeah , he figures what the hell could it hurt . . .

C#m
second set ,
A
the owner lulu gets up with the band ,

a beer in her hand;
E
and sings freebird slow ,
A
then she raises a toast;
Bsus2
here’s to ronny and the boys ,
C#m A
now everbody make some noise . . .

final verse :

E
at the bama breeze ,
Bsus2
you’re one of our own down there ,
A
you never drink alone down there ,
E
good god , i feel at home down there . . .

2nd solo :

E
at the bama breeze ,
Bsus2
you’re one of our own down there ,
A
you never drink alone down there ,
E
good god , i feel at home down there . . .
