Hills Of Alabam

Tom: C

                G
We'll be on our way
                       C 
We'll hit the road and have a song
                            G
Then there'll be nothing to say
    Bm       Em
For hours on end


CHORUS:
                    C        G
And, god, won't you send me away
       D           Em
To the hills of Alabam'
            C                 G             D
I've been a long way and I've longer yet to go
           C             G
And if you can't take me home
          B7                Em
Hear this weary traveller's plea
           Am       C    F  G      Am   C F G
Bring only songs of love to me


          N.C.        C
The night time finds another place
                  G
With the same sad smile
                        C 
And the highway shows a lonely face
                      G
There's just too many miles
         Bm       Em
Too many hours to spend


CHORUS:
                    C        G
And, god, won't you send me away
       D           Em
To the hills of Alabam'
            C                 G             D
I've been a long way and I've longer yet to go
           C             G
And if you can't take me home
          B7                Em
Hear this weary traveller's plea
           Am       C    F  G 
Bring only songs of love to me


INSTRUMENTAL: G7  C   G   C   G  D  Em   C D C D G


                 C
Tomorrow brings another town
                G
We'll be on our way
                       C 
We'll hit the road and have a song
                            G
Then there'll be nothing to say
    Bm       Em
For hours on end


CHORUS:
                    C        G
And, god, won't you send me away
       D           Em
To the hills of Alabam'
            C                 G             D
I've been a long way and I've longer yet to go
           C             G
And if you can't take me home
          B7                Em
Hear this weary traveller's plea
           Am       C    F  G     Am   C F G
Bring only songs of love to me_____________
