    Big wheels keep on turning
    D C G

    [Instrumental] x2
    D C G

    D C G
    Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her
    D C G
    Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.
    D C G
    Well, I hope Neil Young will remember,
    D C G
    A southern man don't need him around anyhow

    [Chorus]
    D C G
    Sweet home Alabama,
    D C G
    Where the skies are so blue,
    D C G
    Sweet home Alabama,
    D C G
    Lord, I'm coming home to you.

    [Instrumental] x2
    D C G
    [Verse]

    D C G F C D
    In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor Boo hoo hoo !
    D C G
    Now we all did what we could do.
    D C G
    Now Watergate does not bother me.
    D C G
    Does your conscience bother you? (tell the truth)

    [Chorus]

    D C G
    Sweet home Alabama,
    D C G
    Where the skies are so blue,
    D C G
    Sweet home Alabama,
    D C G
    Lord, I'm coming home to you.

    [Verse]

    D C G
    Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
    D C G
    And they've been known to pick a tune or two
    D C G
    Lord they get me off so much
    D C G
    They pick me up when I'm feeling blue (Now how about you?)

    [Chorus]

    D C G
    Sweet home Alabama,
    D C G
    Where the skies are so blue,
    D C G
    Sweet home Alabama,
    D C G
    Lord, I'm coming home to you.
    D C G
    Sweet home Alabama, (oh sweet home)
    D C G
    Where the skies are so blue, (and it's true)
    D C G
    Sweet home Alabama,
    D C G
    Lord, I'm coming home to you.

    [Outro]
    D C G
