F   G      Em  Em7
Oh, oh, Alabam 
F         G              F         C 
The devil fools with the best laid plans 
F     G      Em  Em7 
Swing low Alabam 
F                          D 
You got the spare change - you got to feel strange 
E                  F           G 
And now the moment is all that it meant 
                              
Am 
Alabam - 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 

F   G      Em  Em7
Oh, oh, Alabam 
F      G                   F      C
Banjos playing through the broken glass              
F       G          Em  Em7
Windows down in Alabam 
F                 D
See the old folks tied in white ropes 
E                F                 G          Am7
Hear the banjos, don't it take you down home

Alabam - you got the weight on your shoulders

F   G      Em  Em7
Oh, oh, Alabam 
F     G           F          C
Can I see you and shake your hand 
F    G                  Em  Em7
Make friends down in Alabam 
F                    D
I'm from a new land, I come to you and 
E                   F            G
See all this ruin - What are you doing?     

Am 
Alabam - you've got the rest of the Union 
D
To help you along                          
Am
What's going wrong?
