[Verse - Just bass drum and heavy chug] [Em - heavy mute - 0-14-14-x-x-x] High ho, triple sow cow, I got a feeling like I'm tired of the flow. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. Gasoline suck her in, I got no reason for the state I'm in. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me [D] be (drum fill TT T TT - keep bass drum going under it) [Em] Hotel, taco bell, I got the hit that you know damn well. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. Cut, tease, better believe, I got the feeling that I'm underneath. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me [D] be [Stop #####scroll#####] (drum fill B B B S - Snare pickup on 'But')
[Chorus - Full drums] But it's [C] alright, it's okay, [Am] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [Em] It's alright, it's okay, [D] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [C] alright, it's okay, [Am] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [Em] It's alright, it's [B] okay. (random fill)
[Verse - Just bass drum] [Em] Flip flop, no stop, I got the wit that my enemies lack. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. Trick some, just begun, giving you more when you only want one. 'Cause I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me [D] be (drum fill TT T TT - keep bass drum going under it) [Em] Hot sweat, got debt, keep looking in the locker 'cause you don't know yet. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. Ship shape, ticker tape, looks to me like there's not escape. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me [D] be (drum fill B B B S - Snare pickup on 'But')
[Chorus - Full drums] But it's [C] alright, it's okay, [Am] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [Em] It's alright, it's okay, [D] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [C] alright, it's okay, [Am] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [Em] It's alright, it's [B] okay. (random fill)
[Solo] [Em] with some [D]
[Vamp Em 1&xx2&xx]
[Outro - Just bass drums with big chords at start of each line] [Em] I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. [D] I know what I am [C] I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. [Em] I know what I am [D] I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. [C] I know what I am [Em] I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. [D] I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. [C] I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. [Em] I know what I am, they know what they are (slow down) so let me be.
[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?
