Sweet Home Alabama

Lynard Skynard

BPM: 98

Chords: D  C  G  F

Lyrics:

Spoken: Turn it up

Big wheels keep on turning. Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland. I miss “Alabamy” once again
And I think it’s a sin, yes

I heard Mr. Young sing about her. I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow

Chorus:

Sweet home, Alabama, where the skies are so blue
Sweet home, Alabama. Lord, I’m coming home to you

In Birmingham, they love the governor (Boo! Boo! Boo!)
Now, we all did what we could do
Now, Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you? (Tell the truth)

(Chorus)

Spoken: Here I come, Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got “The Swampers”
And they’ve been known to pick a song or two. (Yes, they do!)
Lord, they get me off so much. They pick me up when I’m feeling blue
Now, how ’bout you?

(Chorus)

Chorus 2nd time with conventional improv:

Sweet home, Alabama (oh, sweet home, baby)
Where the skies are so blue (and the governor’s true)
Sweet home, Alabama (Lordy)
Lord, I’m coming home to you (ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah)

Spoken:

Mont-Montgomery’s got the answer
