Alabama

verse 1: [A]I was born across the riv-er
in the moun-tains where I call home.
Lord, times were good there. Don't know why
I ever roamed_____
Chorus: Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get to-gether anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
we play to-gether in Mother Nature's band.
Verse 2: Me and my woman's done made our plans
on the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in hand
Gonna raise a fam-ly, Lord, settle down
where peace and love can still be found.
Repeat Chorus, then increase tempo, and play chords to the chorus on the
fiddle solo.

Enjoy! I love playin' this song.

P.S. in the live version on CD, they do an extra verse in the middle the
lyrics to it are:
This mountain king, 's done left his throne
On the Tennessee River and his mountain home
But I'm goin' back, leavin' today
to my homeland, so far away
Drivin' down to Dixie, wastin' no time
Back to the good life I left behind
Goin' to the river with my fishin' line
I'm on Lookout Mountain about suppertime
(chorus, last verse, etc.)
