Drinking was forbidden in my Christian country home.
I learned to play the flat [G] top on the old gospel songs.
[C] Then I heard about the bar rooms just [A] across the Georgia line,
where a boy could make a living [D] playing guitar late at night.
I had to learn about the ladies and ask the young to understand
why the young girls fall in love [C] with [G] the boys in the band.
When [C] the boys turn to music, [A] the girls just turn away
to some other guitar picker in [D] some other late night place.
Yeah, I held on to my music.
I let the ladies walk away.
I took my song of dreams to Nashville, [G] moved on to L.A.,
[C] up to New York City, all [A] across the U.S.A.
I lost so much of me, but there's [D] enough of me to [D] say
that [G] my [A]
home's in [D] Alabama.
No [Am] matter where
[A] I lay [D] my head,
[G] my home's in [F#m] Alabama.
[G] Southern born and [D] Southern bred.
Are you Southern born and Southern [A] bred?
[Am]
[D] Don't it feel good?
Well,
[Am]
[Dm] [D]
what keeps me going, I don't really know.
[F#m] [D] It ain't just the money, [G] Lord knows I'm always broke.
Could [C] it be the satisfaction [A] of being understood
when the people really love you and let [D] you know what is good?
Well, I'll speak my Southern English, just as natural as I please.
I'm in the heart of Dixie, [G] Dixie's in the heart of Maine.
[C] Someday when I make it, [A] when luck dies away,
somewhere high on Lookout Mountain, I'll [D] just smile and cry and say,
[G] my [A]
home's in [D] Alabama.
No matter [Am] where I lay [D] my head,
[G] my home's in [F#m] Alabama.
[G] Southern born and [D] Southern bred.
Southern [Am] born and [D] Southern bred.
Southern [Am] born and [D] Southern
[E] bred. [Em] [Am] Hey!
