Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][A][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Drinkin' was
forbidden in my Christian country home
I learned to play the flattop on them
[G]good ol' Gospel songs
Then I [C]heard about the barrooms
just [A]across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a livin'
playin' [D]guitar late at night

[Verse 2]
Had to [D]learn about the ladies,
too young to understand
Why the young girls fall in love
with the [G]boys in the band
When the [C]boys turn to music,
the [A]girls just turn away
To some other guitar picker in
some [D]other late night place

[Verse 3]
Yeah, [D]held on to my music,
I let the ladies walk away
Took my songs and dreams to
Nashville then I [G]moved on to [C]L.A.
Up to New York City all [A]across the USA
I lost so much of me but there's
[D]enough of me to say that my

[Verse 4]
[G]Home's [A]in Alabama,
[D]no matter whe[Am]re I lay my hea[D]d
My [G]home's in [D]Alabama,
[F#m]Southern born a[G]nd Southern bred[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]What keeps me goin' I
don't really know
Can't be the money Lord [G]knows
I'm always broke
Could it [C]be the satisfaction of
[A]bein' understood
When the people really love ya and let
[D]you know when it's good

[Verse 6]
[D]Oh I'll speak my Southern English
just as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie,
Dixie's [G]in the heart of me
And [C]someday when I make it,
when [A]luck finds a way
Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll
[D]just smile with pride and say that my

[Verse 7]
[G]Home's [A]in Alabama,
[D]no matter whe[Am]re I lay my [D]head
My [G]home's in Alabama,
[F#m]Southern born a[G]nd Southern bred[D]
Southern [Am]born and Southern [D]bred
Southern [Am]born and Southern bred

And my [G]home's [A]in Alabama,

Southern [Am]born and Southern [D]bred
Southern [Am]born and Southern [D]bred
