Muscadine Bloodline - Down In Alabama (Acoustic)

Capo: 1st fret

[CHORUS]
G C G
Where the pines meet the shoreline with the Delta summer breeze
G D
Where the Spanish moss is hangin’ off an old magnolia tree
G C G
You can hear the Dixie whippoorwill, her morning song she sings
D G G/F#
Lay me down in Alabama when you go to bury me

[VERSE I]
G/F# Em C G
Oh, lay me down in Alabama, maybe somewhere ‘round Mobile
G D
Where the hands of time’ve been left behind like a dusty cottonfield
G G/F# Em C G
Oh, throw my ashes o’er the causeway or the Mississippi line
G D
Gotta past that’s beat and battered but my family still resides
G G/F# Em C
Oh, lay me down in Alabama

[CHORUS]
G C G
Where the pines meet the shoreline with the Delta summer breeze
G D
Where the Spanish moss is hangin’ off an old magnolia tree
G C G
You can hear the Dixie whippoorwill, her morning song she sings
G D G
Lay me down in Alabama when you go to bury me

[VERSE II]
G/F# Em C G
Oh, lay me down in Alabama where the Tensaw tends to break
G D
Gimme that old time religion that your spirit just can’t shake
G G/F# Em C G
They say home is where the heart is, and Lord I still believe
G D
If it’s good enough for Hank Williams then it’s good for me
G G/F# Em
Oh, lay me down
