SWEET HOME ALABAMA
Lynyrd Skynyrd

D        C                G
Big wheels keep on turning
D         C               G
Carry me home to see my kin.
D         C                G
Singing songs about the southland
D        C                  G
I miss'ole' 'bamy once again (and I think it's a sin)

Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember,
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama,
Where the skies are so blue, CHORUS (and the chords
Sweet home Alabama, _still_ don't change!)
Lord, I'm coming home to you.
                                                     F    C     D
In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor Boo hoo hoo !
Now we all did what we could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me.
Does your conscience bother you? (tell the truth)

CHORUS

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a tune or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
CHORUS

Chorus

Solo (pick through the chords with feeling)

It's so strange when ya get just a little money
You're so called friends want to act just a little funny
(Yes they'll blame you) But I'm not the one thats here to blame
It's you my friend and it's really a change
It's a shame-ame, such a shame
Am I losin' once again

G
Why these things happen Lord, I don't understand
F C
Lord, they can sure hurt a man

Why won't my friend take me, as I am

'Cause your friends Lord are the most important thing

Tell me people, what good is that?
