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)

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

Chorus:
D      C       G
Sweet home Alabama,
D           C            G
Where the skies are so blue,
D      C       G
Sweet home Alabama,
D          C              G
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor Boo hoo hoo!
D           C                 G
Now we all did what we could do.
D              C               G
Now Watergate does not bother me.
D          C                 G
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?)

D      C       G
Sweet home Alabama,
D           C            G
Where the skies are so blue,

Sweet home Alabama,
D          C              G
Lord, I'm coming home to you.
D      C       G
Sweet home Alabama, (oh sweet home)
D           C            G
Where the skies are so blue, (and it's true)
D      C       G
Sweet home Alabama,
D          C              G
Lord, I'm coming home to you.
