[Am] [D]

[Am] [D]
[Am] [A]
[D] Drinking was forbidden in my Christian country home
I learned to play the flat [G] top on them good old gospel songs
[C] Then I heard about the barrooms [A] just across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a living [D] playing guitar late at night
Had to learn about the ladies too young to understand
Why the young girls fall in love [G] with the boys in the band
[C] When the boys turn to music [A] the girls just turn away
To some other guitar picker in [D] some other late night place
Yeah, held on to my music let the ladies walk away
Took my songs and dreams to Nashville [G] then I moved on to L.A.
[C] Up to New York City all [A] across the U.S.A.
I've lost so much of me but there's [D] enough of me to say
[G] That my [A] home's in [D] Alabama
Don't [Am] care where I [D] lay my head
[G] My home's in [F#m] Alabama
[G] Southern born and [D] southern bred
What [Am] [A] [D]
[Am] [A]
keeps me going [D] I don't really know
Can't be the money [G] Lord knows I'm always broke
[C] Could it be the satisfaction [A] of being understood
When the people really love you and [D] let you know when it's good
Oh I'll speak my southern English as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie [G] Dixie's in the heart of me
[C] And someday when I make it [A] when luck finds a way
Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll [D] just smile with pride and say
That [G] my [A] home's in [D] Alabama
Don't [Am] care where [A] I [D] lay my head
[G] My home's [F#m] in Alabama
Southern [G] born and southern [D] bred
Southern [Am] born and [D] southern bred
