[E]
We broke the drum out of the closet, [G]
[E] tuned up the bass and we hit an E.
Honk on the hood, big motor running, little Stevie windows on the B3.
[A] Several long years and I'm needing [G] to ease [E] my soul.
And [B] I was sweating the room [A] over, [G]
returned to [E] Muscle Shoals.
Over in Paris it was happening [G]
again, [Em] [E] like it always seemed to do.
I don't know why but they seemed to [A]
understand, [E] talking about this won't be [Em] hoodoo.
[A] A long way from Goodwill but they [Em] let me see their soul.

And [B] I was talking the air, [A] [G]
returning [E] to Muscle Shoals.

Over in Stockholm we were getting [G] on down, [E] we were reaching for the moon.
And I was bedridden, [A] bounced down, [E] the silence of my guitar filled the room.
I [A] had become disoriented, stranded [G] on the [E] road.
[B] I'll bet they're frying fish [A] tonight, [G] way down at Muscle Shoals.
