Tom: C5

Intro: C5   D5

C5
Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen-inch Hitachi
D5
And many demons lingering
C5
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel 
D5
Something that he picked up from the King 
    C5                              D5
His wife remembers well the man she knew 
C5                            B5                           
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue 
      A5    G5
She's wasted years 
   F5        E5
No time for tears 
              D5       A5          G5     D5
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon 
        A5      C5     D5
Shining like the Alabama - moon 
              A5     G5      D5
She's looking for her promised land 
    A5                    D5
Out beyond the lights of 

Birmingham
C5
It's three a.m. and Virgil's passed out on the sofa 
D5
A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor 
C5
She's packed a bag she slips the keys out of his pocket
D5
She's careful not to slam the door 
    C5                         D5
And as she drives she rubs her rosary 
      C5                            B5
She's never been so all alone she's never felt so free 
          A5      G5
She's got miles to go 
      F5         E5
Blind faith and hope
              D5       A5          G5     D5
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon 
        A5      C5     D5
Shining like the Alabama - moon 
              A5     G5      D5
She's looking for her promised land 
    A5                    D5
Out beyond the lights of 

Birmingham
            C5                          D5
As the rain falls down upon the inter - state 
C5                     B5             
Any doubts she had are all but washed away
    A5       G5
One long look back 
F5            E5
At Birming - ham 
              D5       A5          G5     D5
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon 
        A5         C5  D5
Shining like the Alabama - moon 
              A5     G5      D5
She's looking for her promised land 
    A5                    D5
Out beyond the lights of 
Birmingham
