(notes - Wheels, Well I Heard, In Birmingham, Muscle Shoals)
[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)
Lord they give me oh so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

America-Horse With No Name
[Intro - BPM 123 - No drums]
Em Em D6/9 (200200) D6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
On the [Em] first part of the [D6/9] journey
I was [Em] looking at all the [D6/9] life
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
The [Em] first thing I met was a [D6/9] fly with a buzz
And the [Em] sky with no [D6/9] clouds
The [Em] heat was hot and the [D6/9] ground was dry
But the [Em] air was full of [D6/9] sound
[Chorus - Slap on snare drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2 - Slap on snare drums]
After [Em] two days in the [D6/9] desert sun
My [Em] skin began to turn [D6/9] red
After [Em] three days in the [D6/9] desert fun
I was [Em] looking at a river [D6/9] bed
And the [Em] story it told of a [D6/9] river that flowed
Made me [Em] sad to think it was [D6/9] dead
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
La, [Em9] la, la lala [Dmaj9] la la la, la, la
La, l [Em9] a, la lala l [Dmaj9] a la la, la, la
[Verse 3 - Drums stop]
After [Em] nine days I let the [D6/9] horse run free
'Cause the [Em] desert had turned to [D6/9] sea
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
(bass drum in)
The [Em] ocean is a desert with its [D6/9] life underground
And a [Em] perfect disguise [D6/9] above
Under the [Em] cities lies a [D6/9] heart made of ground
But the [Em] humans will give no [D6/9] love
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la

But the river is [C] wide and it's too hard to [D] cross
[Verse 1]
[Em] Even though I know the [D] river is wide
I walk down [C] every evening and I [Bm] stand on the shore
[C] I try to cross to [Bm] the opposite side
So I can [A7] finally find out what I've been [D] looking for
(run down - x7777x x6777x x5777x x3555x x5777x)
[Chorus 2]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the valley of [C] fear to a river so [D] deep
I've been searching for [G] something taken out of my [G] soul
Something I could never [C] lose, something somebody [D] stole
[Verse 2]
[Em] I don't know why I go [D] walking at night
But now I'm [C] tired and I don't wanna [Bm] walk anymore
[C] I hope it doesn't take the [Bm] rest of my life
Until I [A7] find what it is I've been [D] looking for
(run down)
[Pause]
[Chorus 3]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the jungle of [C] doubt to the river so [D] deep
I know I'm searching for [G] something, something so [G] undefined
That it only can be [C] seen by the eyes of the [D] blind
In the middle of the [G] night [C] [D]
[Piano bit - add 7ths - bluesy]
[G] [C] [D] x 2
[Verse 3]
[Em] Not sure about a [D] life after this
God [C] knows I've never been a [Bm] spiritual man
[C] Baptized by [Bm] fire, I wade into the [A7] river
That is runnin' through the [D] promised land
(run down)
[Double Pause]
[Chorus 4]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the desert of [C] truth to the river so [D] deep
We all end in the [G] ocean, we all start in the [G] streams
We're all carried a [C] long by the river of [D] dreams
In the middle of the [G] night
[Backing vocal part - NO CHORDS TO BEGIN WITH - PERHAPS JUST BASS THEN CHORDS BACK IN]
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[C]valley of faith
[D]river so deep

Nice approach - when you want to imply G chord play melody on E string so by virtue of fretting
the open G rings - then want to imply D, move melody to B string that naturally mutes the G string
and the low D string rings more
With A just play chord down the neck
Also really helps to be in open D tuning
[Violin Line 2 - relative to capo - note you can add trills and hammer ons and pulloffs and sounds great
stick to right string though for each chord]
