[Verse 1]
I've had a [D]mighty [A]busy [D]day
[A]I've had[D] to pack my thi[A]ngs awa[D]y
Now [G]I'm [D]going to give the
[G]land[D]lord [A]back his [D]key
[A]The ver[D]y key
[A]That ope[D]ned up my dre[A]ary fla[D]t
Where many weary [A]nights I [D]sat
Thinking [A]of the [E]folks [A]down
[B]home who [E]think of [A]me
You can bet you'll find me

[Verse 2]
singing happily
[A]
[chorus:]
When the [D]midnight [A]choo- [B]choo
[Em]leaves [A]for [D]Alabam'
I'll be right [C#m]there
I've got my [D]fare
When I see that [B]rusty- haired
[Em]cond[A]uctor- man[D]
I'll grab him [E]by the collar
[Bm]And [E]I'll holle[A]r[Em]
[A]
"Alabam'! Alabam'!"
That's where [D]you stop your train
That brings me [G]back [D]again[G]
Down home where [F#m]I'll remain
[B]Where my honey- lam[G]b am[Bb]
[A]I will b[D]e right there with bells
[Gb]When that old con[Bb]ductor [B]yells
[Db]"All aboard! All aboard!
All aboard [Bb]for[Em][E][D][Bb]
Alabam'"

[Verse 3]
[2nd verse:] [Bb]The minute
that I reach the [Eb]place
I'm goin' to [Bb]overfeed my f[Eb]ace
[Ab]'Cause I [Eb]haven't had a
[Fm]good meal [Bb]since the [Eb]day[Bb]
I went [Eb]away
I'm [Bb]goin' to [Eb]kiss my [Bb]Pa and Ma[Eb]
[Bb]A dozen times for ev'ry star[Eb]
Shining [F]over Alabama's new mown [Bb]hay
I'll be glad [C]enough to [Bb]throw myself away
