[Verse 1]
[D]Well, I
didn't know him best
[G]He'd say we were friends
[A]We both rode the highways
on [D]the song[G][D]
So I'm writing this one here
in [G]memory of him
'Cause [A]the King of Alabama
has gone [D]home

[Verse 2]
He was [D]a man among
men, the old-school kind
kind
Had a [G]great big heart, a laid-back mind
mind
Let you [A]hold his guitar if you
broke his string
If you [G]thought he looked country,
outta [A]heard him sing

[Verse 3]
From [D]Alabama 'cross
the Rio Grande
[G]He beat the blacktop down
with a five-piece band
band
Not be[A]cause he loved it
- he did that too -
But he [G]did it man 'cause that's
what he was [A]born to do

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Some people calculate [F#m]moves
[G]He never had a [D]thing to prove
[Bm]He just let the wind take
[F#m]him where it ma[G]y
[D]It's a [Em]damn shame the way things go
It's [F#m]too bad we have
to lose the good folks
But [G]the King of [F#m]Alabama [Em]has[A]
gone [D]home[G]

[Verse 5]
"Nothin' [D]good ever happens after
[A]midnight," [Bm]so th[G]e story goes
[A]You can't trust nobody,
[G]it don't matter how clo[A]se
It was [D]a friend that took him
[Bm]from[A] his[G] fam[A]ily[G]
I keep his [A]chain in my pocket,
his son in my prayers
Every [G]stage I'm on, I [A]can feel him there

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Some people calculate [F#m]moves
[G]He never had a [D]thing to prove
[F#m]He jus[Bm]t let the wind
take [F#m]him where it ma[G]y
