C Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen-inch Hitachi
D And many demons lingering
C Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
D Something that he picked up from the King
His C9 wife remembers well the man she D knew
C9 Seems the dreams she had have Bm7 all turned black and blue
She's Am7 wasted G(add2 years
No F time for Em7 tears
Cause there's D another Am7 chance and a G/C someday D soon
Shining Am7 like the Cmaj7 Alabama - D moon
She's looking Am7 for her G/C promised D land
Out Am7 beyond the lights of D/G
Birmingham
C It's three a.m. and Virgil's passed out on the sofa
D A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor
C She's packed a bag she slips the keys out of his pocket
D She's careful not to slam the door
And C9 as she drives she rubs her D rosary
She's C9 never been so all alone she's Bm7 never felt so free
She's got Am7 miles to G(add2 go
Blind F faith and Em7 hope
Cause there's D another Am7 chance and a G/C someday D soon
Shining Am7 like the Cmaj7 Alabama - D moon
She's looking Am7 for her G/C promised D land
Out Am7 beyond the lights of D/G
Birmingham
As the rain C9 falls down upon the inter - D state
C9 Any doubts she had are Bm7 all but washed away
One Am7 long look G(add2 back
F At Birming - Em7 ham
Cause there's D another Am7 chance and a G/C someday D soon
Shining Am7 like the Ala Cmaj7 bama - D moon
She's looking Am7 for her G/C promised D land
Out Am7 beyond the lights of D/G
Birmingham
