Alabaster Chords

(ver. 1)
The Wood Brothers
[Intro]
G7  C7  G7  C7


[Verse 1]
G7 (omit 3)
  Behind the wheel of a yellow cab
C7
  On the outskirts of Birmingham
G7
  He dreams of a traffic jam
     C7
In Manhattan
G7
  Below the city in a subway car
C7
  She feels just like a shooting star
G7
  Never thought she could get so far
   C7
From her old man


[Chorus]
G7
  The last phonebooth in New York City
   C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7
  She doesn't answer, she walks faster
C7                                 G7
    She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back
C7
  She won't be going back to Alabaster


[Verse 2]
G7
  Thousand miles away, she still feels it
C7
  Scr*pe of his chin, bruise on her spirit
G7
  Phone is calling but she won't get near it
C7
  Ever again
G7
  Steps on the gas just to harness the anger
C7
  Last thing he do is try to understand her
G7
  Stuck in time like a fly in the amber
C7
  And he never transcends


[Chorus]
G7
  The last phonebooth in New York City
   C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7
  She doesn't answer, she walks faster
C7                                 G7
    She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back (yeah)
C7
  She won't be going back to Alabaster


[Solo]
G7 C7  x3
G7


[Verse 3]
N.C.
Time passes, distance grows wider
N.C.
Dark features brighter and brighter
N.C.
She's got a new heart beating inside her
N.C.
And she's her own master
N.C.
She won't be going back (she's her own master)
N.C.
She won't be going back (she's her own master)


[Chorus]
G7
  The last phonebooth in New York City
   C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7                                      C7
  She doesn't answer, she walks faster
G7
  The last phonebooth in New York City
   C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7
  She doesn't answer, she walks faster
C7                               G7
  She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back
C7                               G7
  She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back
C7                               G7
  She won't be going back to Alabaster She wont' be going back
C7                               G7
  She won't be going back to Alabaster She wont' be going back


[Outro]
