My Homes In Alabama

D                            D7
Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
  Dm                                  G
I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs
       C                             Am7
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
        Am7                             D
Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night

D                                  D7
Had to learn about the ladies, too young to understand
        Dm                                G
Why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
         C                       Am7
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away
        A7                          D
To some other guitar picker in some other late night place
Verse 3
D                                    D7
Yeah, held on to my music, I let the ladies walk away
        Dm                                   G
Took my songs and dreams to Nashville then I moved on to L.A.
C                       Am7
Up to New York City all across the USA
  Am7                            D
I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say that my
[Chorus](strummed)
G         A                  D              Am7
Home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
G            F#m               G                 D
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred
Between Verse and chorus(use D from chorus)D,Am7,D,Am7,D(play D once)
Verse 4
D                  D7
What keeps me goin' I don't really know
Dm                      G
Can't be the money Lord knows I'm always broke
         C                      Am7
Could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
         Am7                               D
When the people really love ya and let you know when it's good
D                                         D7
Oh I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please
    Dm                     G
I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
C                                Am7
And someday when I make it, when love finds a way
          Am7                                D
Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride and say that my

Home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
G            F#m               G                 D
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred
         G                 D
Southern born and Southern bred
         G                 D
Southern born and Southern bred(tempo speeds up)
