Alice Peacock - Alabama Boy Chords

[Intro]
F  C  G  C
F  C  G

[Verse]
         F          C          G           C
You look kinda like Jesus in those Italian paintings
    F         C       G
You seem so familiar, maybe that's why
         F           C            G            C
You're accustomed to sorrow, it's part of your make-up
              F           C      G      C  F  C  G  C
You speak the language of hunger, so do I

[Verse]
F              C    G              C
Where was your God? Where was your mother?
    F            C         G
And where is the honour in hurting a child?
     F            C         G           C
Your blood on his hands, his voice like thunder
          F            C           G          C
You won't give him the pleasure of seeing you cry

[Chorus]
   F    C      G       C
Alabama boy, in-side a man
F           C        G
Living your life the best that you can
       F         C      G      Am
With a childhood full of 'not enough'
G        F               C            G      C     F  C  G  C
Well, you could've chose hate, but you chose love

[Verse]
     F             C          G             C
When you're in the room, it's there on your face
     F           C              G
It's so clear to me that you're walking in Grace
        F       C            G               C
And I'm always amazed at the things that you do
      F        C      G            C
You illuminate me and those around you

[Chorus]
   F    C      G       C
Alabama boy, in-side a man
F           C        G
Living your life the best that you can
       F         C      G      Am
With a childhood full of 'not enough'
G        F               C            G      C
Well, you could've chose hate, but you chose love

[Bridge]
      G7                            C
And I don't even know you, but I've known you forever
        F                  G
We were forged in the same holy fire
                                     C
And those far away eyes, filled with sadness and joy
      F
Contradiction, benediction
   C           F   C     G  C  F  C  G
Alabama boy, yeah, yeah

[Verse]
          F           C          G       C
There's a raft on the river, it's sacred water
F           C       G
Sparkling beneath a southern sky
F          C               G            C
Little Boy Blue, part Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer
F         C          G             C
Floating away with a dream in your eye

[Chorus]
   F    C      G       C
Alabama boy, in-side a man
F           C        G
Living your life the best that you can
       F         C      G      Am
With a childhood full of 'not enough'
G        F               C            G      F
Well, you could've chose hate, but you chose love
                         C            G      C
Yeah, you could've chose hate, but you chose love
