Alabama Pines Chords

(ver. 2)
Jason Isbell
Capo 4, Key of D#


Intro:  Alternate b/w Cadd9 and C (and embellish by pulling off and hammering on with the middle finger).

       Cadd9                                                C/B
Well, I moved into this room, if you could call it that, a week ago.
   Am7
I never do what I'm supposed to do.
         Am7/G         Fmaj7
I hardly even know my name anymore.
                                    Cadd9
When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away.

    Cadd9                                             C/B
I can't get to sleep at night.  The parking lot's so loud and bright.
    Am7
The A/C hasn't worked in twenty years.
           Am7/G        Fmaj7
Probably never made a single person cold,
                                       Cadd9
But I can't say the same for me.  I've done it many times.

              C/B Am7          Am7/G   Fmaj7        Cadd9
Somebody take me home, through those Alabama Pines.

          Cadd9                                      C/B
You can't drive through Talladega on a weekend in October.
  Am7                                           Am7/G
Head up north to Jacksonville.  Cut around and over.
            Fmaj7
Watch your speed in Boiling Springs.
                                       Cadd9
They ain't got a thing to do.  They'll get you every time.

              C/B Am7          Am7/G   Fmaj7        Cadd9
Somebody take me home, through those Alabama Pines.
              C/B Am7          Am7/G   Fmaj7        Cadd9
Somebody take me home, through those Alabama Pines.
Cadd9  C/B    Am7    Am7/G  Fmaj7
Oh     Oh     Oh     Oh     Oh
Cadd9  C/B    Am7    Am7/G  Fmaj7
Oh     Oh     Oh     Oh     Oh

     Cadd9                                              C/B
If we pass through on a Sunday, better make a stop at Wayne's.
          Am7                                       Am7/G
It's the only open liquor store north, and I can't stand the pain
    Fmaj7
Of being by myself, without a little help
      Cadd9
On a Sunday afternoon.

  Cadd9                                          C/B
I needed that damn woman like a dream needs gasoline.
    Am7
I tried to be some ancient kind of man,
            Am7/G          Fmaj7
One that's never seen the beauty in the world,
                                         Cadd9
But I tried to chase it down.  Tried to make the whole thing mine.


              C/B Am7          Am7/G   Fmaj7        Cadd9
Somebody take me home, through those Alabama Pines.
              C/B Am7          Am7/G   Fmaj7        Cadd9
Somebody take me home, through those Alabama Pines.
Cadd9  C/B    Am7    Am7/G  Fmaj7
Oh     Oh     Oh     Oh     Oh
Cadd9  C/B    Am7    Am7/G  Fmaj7
Oh     Oh     Oh     Oh     Oh

          Cadd9                                                C/B
I've been stuck here in this town, if you can call it that, a year or two.
    Am7
I never do what I'm supposed to do.
         Am7/G       Fmaj7
I don't even need a name anymore.
                                       Cadd9
When no one calls it out, it kind of vanishes away.

Cadd9                                          C/B
No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about.
      Am7
The liberties that we can't do without 
           Am7/G         Fmaj7
Seem to disappear like ghosts in the air.
                                    Cadd9
When we don't even care, it truly vanishes away.
