Capo 1

3/4 Waltz


E5            A5         E5
Alabama, your beautiful sunlight
     A5         E5       A5           B5
Your fields of cerisa, potatos and corn
E5             A5           E5         
Alabama, your crimson red clover
     A5      E5              A5           B5
All mingled around the old place I was born


E5             A5              E5
Alabama, your hills and your valleys
     A5                E5            A5           B5
Your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow
E5            A5           E5
Alabama, so sweet in the springtime
      A5              E5          A5           B5
Sweet ferns and wild flowers in winter with snow


E5           A5           E5
Alabama, so sweet to my memory
    A5            E5            A5         B5
You shine like a light on the beautiful hill
E5           A5          E5
Alabama, in days of my childhood
     A5           E5             A5           B5
I've labored and toiled at the old sorghum mill


E5             A5              E5
Alabama, when red leaves are falling
     A5                   E5             A5         B5
I've roamed through your pastures with fences of rail
E5             A5           E5
Alabama, when possums are crawling and
    A5              E5           A5             B5
And hound dogs are whining and wagging their tails


E5             A5         E5
Alabama, your beautiful highways
    A5                  E5              A5             B5
Are carved through the mountain where loved ones do wait
E5             A5         E5
Alabama, your goldenrod flowers
        A5                 E5       A5        B5
And the welcome home sign hanging over the gate


E5           A5          E5
Alabama, to me you are calling
   A5             E5         A5         B5
My footsteps are comin? no longer to stray
E5            A5          E5
Alabama, you hold all I long for
    A5        E5              A5      B5
You hold all I love, so I'm coming today
