F    G      Em  Em7
 Oh, oh, Alabama...
F          G              F    Fsus2 C    Csus2 C
 The Devil fools with the best laid  plans.
F      G      Em  Em7
 Swing low Alabama...
F                     D/F#
 You got spare change, you got to feel strange,
E                  F            G
 and now the moment is all that it meant.
[Chorus]
Am7
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
       C             D    Dsus4    D
that's breaking your back.
     Am7
Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch,

and a wheel on the track.

F    G      Em  Em7
 Oh, oh, Alabama...

 Banjos playin' through the broken   glass
F       G        Em     Em7
 windows down in Alabama.
F                  D/F#
 See the old folks, tied in white ropes.
E                F                 G          Am7
 Hear the banjo, don't it take you down home?

Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch,
      C            D    Dsus4    D
and a wheel on the track.
[Verse 3] 
F    G      Em  Em7
 Oh, oh, Alabama... 
F      G           F     Fsus2 C   Csus2 C
 can I see you and shake your  hand.
F            G        Em     Em7
 Make friends down in Alabama.
F                    D/F#
 I'm from a new land, I come to you and
E                  F             G
 see all this ruin, what are you doin'?

Alabama, you got the rest of the union
