Capo 1

3/4 Waltz


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


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


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


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


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


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