[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.
