[Ab] _ Hi everybody, this is Paige Zollers here and I'm with songtunes.com and today I'm going
to show you how to play Sweet Home Alabama.
_ So this is a very fun and simple song and you only need to know three chords.
So the chords are [Eb] D major, _ _ _ C [Db] major, _ _ and G [Ab] major.
_ _ _ _ And the whole [Bb] song is just those three chords in the same order over and over again.
_ [Ab] So [G] I use a capo [Ab] on the first fret just [Gb] because I like to sing it a little bit higher and
you [Bb] can use a capo on any fret you want or no capo at all, [Abm] it's totally up to you.
[Bb] _ _ [Ab] _
So for the introduction this is how I play [Eb] it.
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] So with [Eb] these I'm just doing [Db] downbeats, _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ mostly downbeats, but something that I do [Bb] on the
introduction that I think adds like a little [Ab] bit more, _ _ [Eb] after you hit it [Ab] you can take this
part of your [Bb] hand right here and kind of go like that [Ab] to the strings.
[Eb] So, _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] but _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ then once you start the verse you [Bb] don't have to do that because it's kind of
a lot to think about when you're also singing.
_ So [Ab] yeah, that's just [Eb] something and then, _ so once you start the verse, once you start [Bb] singing
it's the same exact [Eb] order and kind of the same rhythm but usually I just go. _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] So now I can play the introduction and the [Ab] verse and you can play along too.
So, _ two.
_ [Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] Big wheels [Ab] keep on turning, _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ carry [Db] me home so I [Ab] can, _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ singing [Db] _ songs about the [Ab] south land, _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ I [Db] miss Albany [Ab] once _ again. _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So then that [Bb] would be the verse and [G] you can do [Ab] more verses too and then once you get into
[Dbm] the chorus, same chord, same [Bb] order.
_ [Ab] And [Eb] _ I, _ [Ab]
so you [Eb] strum like.
_ _ _ [Db] So _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ it's just like the verse.
So to sing the chorus it would sound [Eb] like this.
[Db] Sweet _ home _ [Ab] _ Alabama, _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] where the skies [Ab] are so blue. _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
Sweet home _ [Ab] Alabama, _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] Lord I'm coming [Ab] home to you. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And then you go into another verse and then another chorus.
So that's pretty much the whole song once you just put it together [Abm] and if you want to
see the chord charts to this [Bb] song, just click on the link [Gb] below [Ab] in the description _ _ box [Bb] and
then [Db] [Gb] that'll give you all of the chords to Sweet Home Alabama.
Thanks for watching. _
