    Sweet Home Alabama Chords/Lyrics/Verse

    D    Cadd9                   G
    Big wheels keep on turning
    D             Cadd9                 G
    Carry me home to see my kin
    D          Cadd9                    G
    Singing songs about the south land
    D          Cadd9                 G
    I miss ‘ole’ ‘bamy once again and I think it’s a sin

    D    Cadd9    G
    D    Cadd9    G

    D                        Cadd9                   G
    Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her
    D                      Cadd9             G
    Well I heard old Neil put her down
    D                        Cadd9           G
    Well I hope Neil Young will remember
    D               Cadd9                           G
    A southern man don’t need him around, anyhow

    Sweet Home Alabama Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

    In Birmingham they love the Gov’nor, boo-hoo-hoo
    D                 Cadd9                  G
    Now we all did what we could do
    D               Cadd9         G
    Now watergate doesn’t bother me

    And they’ve been known to pick a song or two (yes we do)
