SWEET HOME ALABAMA

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Tempo: 100, Intro: 4x:

D D/C G
                     
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)

Riff #1 over 2 x D C G

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,
Sweet home Alabama,
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

1st guitar solo over 2 x D C G

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

2nd guitar solo over 8 x D C G

then riff #1 again over 2 x of D C G

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 2 x

piano solo over 4-6 x D C G
