Tar Top chords and lyrics - ALABAMA

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
It was July hot 'cross [D]Georgia
on my way to myrtle beach
I just got my diploma so I set out
in search of me
The honeymoon was over
and Alabama was far away
From being little more than
just a southern state

[Verse 2]
I got [C]a gig down [D]at the Bowery
I played [C]for tip and [D]watered drinks
Just [C]a novice [G]in a bus[D]iness
[G]That's sel[D]dom [Em]what [D]it [A]seems

[Verse 3]
And [G]where are you goin' [D]tar top
Where's J.C. and [G]the chosen [D]few?
I saw [C]the flash [G]without T.G[D]entry
[Em]And B.V. left for Malibu
[D]

[Verse 4]
I was July, hot and thirty,
some years down the line
When the boys touched the nation,
unaware at the time
I got to go to Texas, California, New York too
A farm boy who is thankful to
be standin' in his shoes

[Verse 5]
But in the Bowery [D]hangs
the memories
[A]Of dreams that still come [D]true
Every time I see the spotlights
I'm one [A]of the chosen [D]few

[Verse 6]
And [G]where are you going [D]tar top
[G]J.C. and the chosen [D]few
There's no [C]flash [G]without
[D]T.G[Em]entry
B.V. where are [D]you?

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 7]
[C]Where are you goin' [D]tar top
Which [C]direction will you [D]take
What's this [C]contra[G]band [D]clamor
About the [G]mu [D]sic [Em]that [D]you [A]make?

[Verse 8]
And [G]where are you goin' [D]tar top
Is [G]it country [D]enough?
Is it [C]contem[G]porary [D]glam[Em]or?
No [D]it's us, just us

[Outro 1]
[D][C]
