Sweet Home Alabama Chords with the Lyrics:
[D]Big [C]wheels keep on [G]turning
[D]Carry me [C]home to see my [G]kin
[D]Singing [C]songs about the [G]Southland
[D]I miss [C]Alabamy once [G]again
And I think its a sin, yes
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
[D]Sweet [C]home Ala[G]bama
[D]Where the [C]skies are so [G]blue
[D]Sweet [C]Home Ala[G]bama
[D]Lord, I'm [C]coming home to [G]you
In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swappers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how bout you?
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
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
