Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Alabama, your beautiful sunlight

Your fields of cerisa, potatos and corn

Alabama, your crimson red clover

All mingled around the old place I was born

Alabama, your hills and your valleys

Your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow

Alabama, so sweet in the springtime

Sweet ferns and wild flowers in winter with snow

Alabama, so sweet to my memory

You shine like a light on the beautiful hill

Alabama, in days of my childhood

I've labored and toiled at the old sorghum mill

Alabama, when red leaves are falling

I've roamed through your pastures with fences of rail

Alabama, when possums are crawling and

And hound dogs are whining and wagging their tails

Alabama, your beautiful highways

Are carved through the mountain where loved ones do wait

Alabama, your goldenrod flowers

And the welcome home sign hanging over the gate

Alabama, to me you are calling

My footsteps are comin’ no longer to stray

Alabama, you hold all I long for

You hold all I love, so I'm coming today
