[Notes]Don't go for harmonies in the chorus too much
Opening figure - use thumb and first finger to play B - 1 3 E - 1 0 B - 1 3
Whilst still holding the C chord as much as possible so it sustains
Chord for C/Bb - 6x555
Run down - D 0 - A- 3 2 0 then play G - don't pull off play first
with first finger then rest with thumb
Piano intro C - notes - dont try to hold C maj chord - use second
finger for the 1 so in good position to finger the next chord
B 1 3 E 1 0 B 3 1 (hammer on and pull off) - 11xx1x 01xx1x x10x1x
Use side of thumb and muting with left hand to 1 &3&4 - staccato on 4
Losing everything - have snare hit with no chord OR just play bass drum with chords

[Verse] Big wheels keep on turning
Carrying me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the southland
I'm missing old mammie once again
And I think it's a sin, yes
[Riff] Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her (oo, oo, oo)
Well I heard old Neil put it down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
[Chorus] Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
[Solo 1] In Birmingham they loved the governor (oo, oo, oo F to C bit)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
[Chorus] Here I come Alabama
[Solo - Alabam ah, ah, ah] [Riff] [Verse] Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers (oo, oo, oo)
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)

They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
