O-h, Alabama, the devil fools with the best laid plans. 
   A   H      G#mi7 
Swing low Alabama 
 A                         F# 
You got the spare change, you got to feel strange 
G#                  A           H 
And now the moment is all that it meant.

R1: Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders 
             E   F# 
    That's  breaking your back. 
          C#mi7 
    Your cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch 
            E   F# 
    And a wheel on the track

Oh, Alabama, Banjos playing through the broken glass 
 A  H           G#mi7 
Windows down in Alabama. 
 A                 F# 
See the old folks tied in white ropes 
 G#               A                 H 
Hear the banjo; don't it take you down home? 
 
R1: Alabama … wheel on the track 
 
A H     G#mi7   A     H            A         E 
Oh, Alabama, can I see you and shake your hand. 
 A     H             G#mi7 
Make friends down in Alabama. 
A                   F# 
I'm from a new land I come to you and 
 G#                   A           H 
see all this ruin. What are you doin'? 
 
    C#mi7 
R2: Alabama, you got the rest of the Union 
        E    F# 
    to help you along 
            C#mi7          A H G#mi7 
    What's goin' wrong?
