F G Em F G F C
oh alabam; the devil fools with the best laid plans .
F G Em
swing low alabam
F D
you got spare change , you got to feel strange
E F G
and now the moment is all that it meant .

Am
alabam , 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

F G Em F G F C
oh alabam , 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?

F G Em F G F C
oh alabam; 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’?

Am
alabam ,
C D
you got the rest of the union to help you along
Am F G Em
what’s goin’ wrong?
