Intro:  Am7    D    Am7    D   (Repeat Once)

 D                            Dmaj7
Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
   D7                                  G
I learned to play the flat top on them good ol' Gospel songs
        C                              A7
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
         A7                             D
Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night


 D                            Dmaj7
Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand
   D7                                  G
Why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
        C                              A7
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away
         A7                             D
To some other guitar picker in some other late night place


 D                            Dmaj7
Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away
   D7                                  G
Took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A.
        C                         A7
Up to New York City, all across the USA
         A7                             D
I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)


Chorus:
 G         A     D               Am7            D
Home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
    G           F#m            G                  D
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred


Intstrumental:  D  Am7  D  Am7  D


 D                            Dmaj7
What keeps me goin'?  I don't really know.
   D7                                  G
Can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke
        C                              A7
Could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
         A7                             D
When the people really love ya and let you know when it's good


 D                            Dmaj7
Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please
   D7                                  G
I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
        C                              A7
And someday when I make it, when love finds a way
         A7                                             D
Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride and say that my
