C       G F
Alabama
               C          G     F
Why you gotta love me and level me

[Verse 1]
            Am                G    F
Sixty five north across the state line
                        Am         G      F
They say you drove my heart out of Birmingham
                Am   G
Feels like I'm long gone
           G    F
Like I've moved on
           Am          G    F
And you're calling me back again

[Chorus]
C       G   F
Alabama
               Am          G    F
Why you gotta love me and level me
C       G   F
Alabama
                  Am           G      F
You're tearing my heart out of Tennessee
     Am     G   F
Alabama
     Am     G   F

[Verse 2]
                   Am             G      F
Lights are shining bright down on Broadway
                   Am        G       F
They cast a shadow just like Montgomery
             Am   G                 G   F
I know that this town has got some big sounds
       Am           G    F
But I still hear a melody    (Yeah, yeah)

C       G   F
Alabama
               Am          G    F
Why you gotta love me and level me
C       G   F
Alabama
                  Am           G      F
You're tearing my heart out of Tennessee   Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
 Am    G     F   G
(Whoa-whoa, whoa) Let me go
 Am    G     F   G
(Whoa-whoa, whoa) Let me go
 Am    G     F   G
(Whoa-whoa, whoa) Let me go
 Am    G     F   G
(Whoa-whoa, whoa)

[Outro]
C       G   F
Alabama
               Am          G    F
Why you gotta love me and level me
C       G   F
Alabama
                  Am           G      F
You're tearing my heart out of Tennessee   Yeah, yeah
          Am         G      F
A part of me's never gonna leave
       Am   G     F   G
Alabama  (Whoa-whoa, whoa)
       Am   G     F   G
Alabama  (Whoa-whoa, whoa)
       Am   G     F   G
Woo-hoo  (Whoa-whoa, whoa)
       Am   G     F   G
Alabama  (Whoa-whoa, whoa)
