Alabama Rose

A  G  D  E7

     A               G
One night I went to town
            D           A
And met a girl from Alabama
               G               D               E7
In her eyes I saw the sadness she had seen in life
    A                 G                 D         A
I found out she had spent some wasted years in Chicago
         A               G
She had known a hundred men or more
     D           E7
But never as a wife

         A
She was going home
     D              A
To start her life again in Alabama
       A
Where she had been
     D             E7   B7   E7
And why God only knows
        A
But I loved that girl
      D                  A
And begged her just to stay with me in Nashville
       A                   G   D   A
And I called that girl my Alabama Rose

     A                G
The days turned into weeks
           D                     A
And I was sure she'd learned to love me
      A                G
But sometimes late at night
              D            E7
I'd wake and listen to her cry
     A               G
The sun came up one morning
        D              A
And my rose was not beside me
   A
I got that feeling
G         D       E7
Like you want to die

        A            D            A
Now I wonder if she ever made it back to Alabama
  A               D             E7   B7   E7
Where she is and why God only knows
     A                 D               A
But she must know no matter where she goes
     A
My dreams go with her
                       G   D    A
'Cause I still love my Alabama Rose
                    G   D    A
God knows I love my Alabama Rose
