Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

INTRO

 D    C             G 
Big wheels keep on turning
 D        C              G 
Carry me home to see my kin
 D        C               G
Singing songs about the Southland
 D      C            G   
I miss ole bamy once again

And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

CHORUS
 D      C      G 
Sweet home Alabama
 D          C           G
Where the skies are so blue
 D     C        G
Sweet Home Alabama
 D         C              G
Lord, I'm coming home to you

 D    C             G 
In Birmingham they love the governor
 D    C             G 
Now we all did what we could do
 D    C             G 
Now Watergate does not bother me
 D    C             G 
Does your conscience bother you?

Tell the truth

CHORUS
 D      C      G 
Sweet home Alabama
 D          C           G
Where the skies are so blue
 D     C        G
Sweet Home Alabama
 D         C              G
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Here I come Alabama

 D      C      G 
Ah ah ah
 D      C      G 
Alabama, ah ah ah
 D      C      G 
Alabama, ah ah ah
 D      C      G 
Alabama, ah ah ah

Alabama

 D      C      G 
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swappers
 D      C      G 
And they've been known to pick a song or two
 D      C      G 
Lord they get me off so much
 D      C      G 
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue

Now how about you?

CHORUS
 D      C      G 
Sweet home Alabama
 D          C           G
Where the skies are so blue
 D     C        G
Sweet Home Alabama
 D         C              G
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
