Goodbye Alabama

Intro 

G      C       F     C 
G      C       F     C 

 
G            C           F    C 
She caught a bus all alone....heading out 
G          C   F   C 
there 
G        C           F              C 
With one bag, thirty bucks, looking worn and 
G          C   F   C 
scared 
G           C            F    C 
Her printed tickets read one way to 
G        C     F   C 
Savannah 
G            C             F     C 
She left her dreams on the floor back in 
G             C     F   C 
Bama 
 

 
F          Am             G 
Why did he treat her that way 
F          C           G 
He pleaded with her to stay 
F              Am          G 
She's gone and changed her name 
F            C      G 
That's why she said goodbye to 
G        C       F     C 
Alabama 
 

 
G             C           F          C 
Looks out the window sees houses and farms 
G            C         F             C 
Thinks to herself that could've been ours 
G            C           F              C 
Her weakness passes, she looks straight ahead 
G             C    F       C 
What may have been what is instead 
   G          C           F        C 
of Alabama 
 

 
F          Am             G 
Why did he treat her that way 
F          C           G 
He pleaded with her to stay 
F              Am          G 
She's gone and changed her name 
F              C        G 
That's why she said goodbye to 
G        C       F     C 
Alabama
