F G    Em   F           G              F          C
Oh  Alabama; the devil fools with the best laid plan.
F      G      Em
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:
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

Oh, Alabama
Banjos playing through the broken glass
Windows, down in Alabama
See the old folks
Tied in white robes
Hear the banjo
Don't it take you down home?

Chorus:
Alabama
You got the weight on your shoulders
That's breaking your back
Your Cadillac
Has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track

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:
Alabama
You've got the rest of the Union
To help you along
What's going wrong?
