[Intro]                                                                                                                        
|[C]        |[C/Bb]      |[F/A]    [C/G]     |[F]        |                                                                                   

[Verse 1]                                       
[G] I can't light [C/G]  [G] no more of your [F] darkness [C]  
[F/C]  [C]  [C/E]                                            
[F] All my pictures  [Bb/F] [F] seem to fade to black and [G] white   
[C/G]   [G]   [C/G]    [G]                                      
[G] I'm growing tired [C/G] [G] and time stands still [F] before [C] me  
[F/C]  [C]  [C/E]                                 
[F] Frozen here [Bb/F] [F] on the ladder of my [G] life 
[C/G]   [G]   [C/G]    [G]  
                                 
[G] Too late [C/G] [G] to save myself from  [F] falli [C] ng  
[F/C] [C] [C/E]    
[F] I took a chance [Bb/F] [F] and changed your way of  [G] life  
[C/G]   [G]   [C/G]    [G]                             
[G] But you misread [C/G] [G] my meaning when I  [F] met y [C] ou  
[F/C]  [C]  [C/E]                                   
[F] Closed the door [Bb/F] [F] and left me  [C/G] blinded by the  [G] light

[Chorus]              
[C] Don't let the sun go  [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always [D7/F#] someone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your  [F/G] life [G]  
to wander [C] free [C/Bb]                                         
But  [F/A] losing everything is like the  [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing   [C/G] down  [G] on  [C] me

|[C]        |[C/Bb]      |[F/A]    [C/G]     |[F]        |                                          

[Verse 2]                                                
[G] I can't find [C/G] , [G7] oh the right rom 
[F] antic li [C] ne 
[F/C] [C] [C/E]    
[F] But see me once [Bb/F] [F] and see the way 
I  [G] feel  [G7]   
[G] Don't discard me [C/G] [G] just because you  
[F] think I mean you [C] harm
[F/C] [C] [C/E]    
[F] But these cuts I have [Bb/F] 
[F] they need love [C/G] to help them heal [G]

[Chorus]                                                 
[C] Don't let the sun go  [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always [D7/F#] someone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your  [F/G] life [G]  
to wander [C] free [C/Bb]                                         
But  [F/A] losing everything is like the  [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing   [C/G] down  [G] on  [C] me
|C        |C/Bb      |F/A          |Ab6    Bb      |                                                    

[C] Don't let the sun go  [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always s [D7/F#] omeone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your  [F/G] life  [G]    to wander  [C] free     
[C/Bb]                                              
But  [F/A] losing everything is like the  [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing   [C/G] down  [G] on  [C] me
|C        |C/Bb      |F/A          |Ab6    Bb      |C

Lynyrd Skynyrd-Sweet Home Alabama - BPM - 98

[Loop section where riff is played over drums for first time and store - then just have solo sound on in background and either play little lead lines or the piano part or that chromatic riff which repeats in certain sections - Can try the F and C section]

[Intro - BPM 98 - riff on own - then riff and drums]
(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?   
    
[Chorus] F to C bit at end   
[Chorus]
