F         G              F         C                 
The devil fools with the best laid plans             
                                                     
F     G      Em7                                     
Swing low Alabama.                                   
                                                     
F                          D                         
You got the spare change - you got to feel strange   
                                                     
E                  F           G                     
And now the moment is all that it meant.             
                                                     
Chorus 1:                                            
Am                                                   
Alabama - you got the weight on your shoulders       
                                                     
        C            D                               
That's breaking your back.                           
                                                     
Am                                                   
Your cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch           
                                                     
        C            D                               
And a wheel on the track.                            
                                                     
Verse:                                               
Oh oh Alabama,                                       
Banjos playing through the broken glass              
Windows down in Alabama                              
See the old folks tied in white ropes                
Hear the banjos, don't it take you down home         
                                                     
(At end of verse go from G to a couple of bars of Am)

Verse:                                     
Oh oh Alabama,                             
Can I see you and shake your hand          
Make friends down in Alabama.              
I'm from a new land, I come to you and     
See all this ruin, What are you doing?     
                                           
Chorus 2:                                  
Am                                         
Alabama - you've got the rest of the Union 
                                           
D                                          
To help you along                          
                                           
Am                                         
What's going wrong?                        
                                           
F   G   Em7
