Chords for Alabama Performs on the ACA Awards 2011

_ The American Country Awards lets you, the fans, decide your favorite artists and songs of the year.
But there are some awards, like the Greatest Hits Award, that pretty much determine themselves.
To get this award, you gotta have a boatload of hits.
Last year it went to Alan Jackson.
_ Yes, sir. _ _
_ Well, this year's recipients have 43 number one hits alone.
_ And they have a new album in the tour next year.
Here to introduce them from Nashville, where he's getting ready to headline his 2012 Camo Bunga Tour,
is this year's ACA Male Artist of the Year, Brad Paisley.
[G] Hi, everybody.
I'm so sorry I couldn't [Dm] be there today, but we're in the middle of these [G] rehearsals for our next tour.
And [Dm] I'm very excited to be able to [G] be the one to get to introduce one of the greatest bands in the history of country music,
or any kind of music, for that matter.
I got to pretend I was a member of this band for a couple of months this year,
and [F] I'm here to tell you they are the greatest bunch of [C] guys,
and I'm so excited [G] that they've decided to go play music again.
Please welcome the amazing, the legendary, [C]
Alabama.

_ If you're gonna play [E] in Texas, [D] hang out with [A] another band.
That lead guitar [E] sound will not [D] bother you, [E] never mind.
[F#m] The whole law's about [E] that cultivated [D] love, [A] that's all it means.
If you're gonna [E] play in Texas, [D] you gotta have a [F#m] good little band.
[A] _ [D] _
Hey, _ [A] Antoinette! _ _ _ _

when a cowboy [E] in the back stood up [D] and yelled,
[E] Pat Najo!
_ [A] Say we love [E] what you're doing, [D] now boy, don't [A] get us wrong.
There's just [E] something missing in [A] your song.

Then [A] I'll float on [D] down the river, _ [E] to the _ cajun [A] highway. Hey!
And the _ waves [D] are softer, _ _ [A] _ than for those [D] up here.
_ [A] Hey, now, well, I remember [D] when we'd go, _ [G] they'd scream it [E] again.
_ _ [A] Hey, play me some [D] mountain music, like [A] grandma and grandpa [D] used to play.

_ _ _ _ _ first country music concert I ever went to was these guys at Hulk Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport, Louisiana.
They were the greatest then, and they're still the greatest.
My hat's off to Alabama. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ I'm just so proud _ [E] that we get a chance to share this with all the fans all around the world.
