Down in Alabama Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Where the pines meet the shoreline
with the [C]Delta summer [G]breeze
Where the Spanish moss is hanging
[D]off an old Magnolia tree
You can [G]hear the Dixie whippoorwill,
her [C]morning song she [G]sings
Lay me down in Alabama
[D]when you go to [G]bury me

[Verse 2]
Oh, lay me [Em]down in Alabama
Maybe [C]somewhere 'round
Mo[G]bile
Where the hands of time been left behind
Like a [D]dusty cotton field
Oh, throw my [Em]ashes o'er the causeway
Or the [C]Mississippi [G]line
Got a past that's beat and battered
But my [D]family still resides
Oh, lay me [Em]down in [C]Alabama

[Verse 3]
Where the [G]pines meet the shoreline
with the [C]Delta summer [G]breeze
Where the Spanish moss is hanging
off an [D]old Magnolia tree
You can [G]hear the Dixie whippoorwill,
her [C]morning song [G]she sings
Lay me down in [C]Alabama[G]
when you [D]go to bury [G]me

[Verse 4]
Oh, lay me [Em]down in Alabama
Where that [C]tensaw tends
[G]to break
Give me that old time religion
That your [D]spirit just can't shake
They say [Em]home is where the heart is
And [C]Lord, I still be[G]lieve
If it's good enough for Hank Williams
Then it's [D]good enough for me
Oh, lay me [Em]down[C][G]

[Verse 5]
Where the [G]pines meet the shoreline
with the [C]Delta summer [G]breeze
Where the Spanish moss is hanging
off [D]an old Magnolia tree
You can [G]hear the Dixie whippoorwill,
her [C]morning song she [G]sings
Lay me down in Alabama
[D]when you go to bury [G]me
Oh, lay me [Em]down in Alabama
