The original song is in F#
[Intro]
C C
C G X2 (Drums Enter)
C G
X4
[Verse 1]
C G
A weed believes the garden
C F
Sunday clothes don't fool me
C G C G
The sky is full of our prayer, prayer
C G
When you were making moonlight
C F
The mall cops in Mobile
C G C G
The night fell from their eyes, from their eyes
C G
This is borrowed stone
C F
I'd help you let your hair down
C G C G
Point to birds, then you'd say, "Bang, bang"
C G C F
The sun left every evening, good grass was dying
C G C G
You drew your dawn on the world, on the world
[Chorus]
F C
Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
C Am G F
Or walking into water after dark
C G
Your papa saw me coming
C F
"Blood knows when it's worth it,"
C G C G
All you said, you said like a song, a song
C G
Jesus left a best friend
C F
Mine says forget her
C G C G
His field is waiting for wind, for the wind
[Break]
Em F
Dm Dm
G F
[Verse 2]
C G
Mobile had your moonlight
C F
But that line cook had candy
C G
You let him blow your candle a bit
C G
(Hoo hoo hoo, haha)
C G
Ring a bell that's broken
C F
That sound is loud inside us
C G C G
Flowing farther away, far away
[Chorus 2]
F C
Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
C Am G F
Or walking into water after dark
C G
Love can last a lifetime
C F
This is Alabama
C G C G
Any wheel is forgiving the road, the road
C G C F C
Now you're making music for beautiful people by the sea
C G C G
Who don't need a song, need a song
C G C F C
Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
G C
This is Alabama
End
