Stars In Alabama

Jamey Johnson

Capo 3

         G                         Cadd9                            G
I said, ?Mama don?t you worry, I?m getting by just fine out on the road.
        Am                                 Cadd9             D
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and tomorrow night its back to Music
G
Row.

      G                                 Cadd9                        G
No, I don?t know when I?m coming home, Montgomery seems so very far away?.
           Am                                D
She said, ?Boy, it wouldn?t kill you none to look out past the bright
                G
lights on that stage.


(Chorus)

                          Cadd9 D                             G
?Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can?t find in Tennessee.
                            Am                           D
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
                               Cadd9    D                              G
I know there?s big names up in Nashville. And you?ll be one before too long.
                         Am  D                               G
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.?


2nd Verse

       G                                 Cadd9                     G
I hung up the phone and I could feel the emptiness at 80 miles an hour.
      Am                                D
And I listened close and I could hear my heart beating louder than the
G
tires.
         G                          Cadd9
This old bus was headed west but my mind was drifting somewhere towards the
G
south.

      Am                                 Cadd9                 D
And I closed my eyes and I could see the bright lights shining clearly
             G
through the clouds.


(Chorus)

                         Cadd9  D                             G
?Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can?t find in Tennessee.
                            Am                           D
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
                               Cadd9    D                              G
I know there?s big names up in Nashville. And you?ll be one before too long.
                         Am                                 G
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.?

                          Am
Yeah, there?s stars in Alabama. (Pause) That just can?t wait ?til you get
G
home.

This is only my second time submitting and it's late tonight so if I messed up I 
I just got frustrated that nobody had put anything together for more of Jamey's songs. Anyways 
is my contribution.

This is a great song.

Enjoy,
