Alabama

^{A A D/A D/A A A D/A}
Chorus 1: (a capella until you reach "to a Cajun.."
Oh, ^A play me some mountain ^D music
like ^A grandma and grandpa used to play ^D
Then I'll ^A float on down the riv- ^D er
to a Ca- ^E jun hidea- ^A way.
Verse 1:
^A Drift away like Tom ^D Sawyer
Ride a raft ^A with ol' Huck ^D Finn
Take a nap ^A like Rip Van Winkle,
daze ^G dreamin' a- ^E gain.
Chorus 2--same chords as chorus one for the first 3 lines. Then:
to a Ca- ^Bm jun hidea- ^E way.
(guitar solo)
Verse 2 (same chords as 1)
Swim across the river
Just to prove that I'm a man
Spend the day bein' lazy
Just bein' nature's friend
v3
Climb a long tall hick'ry
Bend it over, skinnin' cats
Playin' baseball with chert rocks
Usin' sawmill slabs for bats
Bridge:
(also a capella, like first chorus, until you reach "'cause that's where..")
Play some ^A back-home come-on ^D music
that ^A comes from the heart ^D
Play ^A something with lots of feel- ^D in'
'cause that's where ^Bm music has to ^E start.
(chorus 2)
on last line "...a cajun hideaway aay-aay-aaaiiiaay" - then a drum solo
ensues and the tempo increases--go back to the first chorus for the ending,
but play all of the chords.
Enjoy!
