I just use that same type of pattern for all of the chords, each note picked
being an 8th note.

[Intro] 
Am7    D    Am7    D   (repeat once)

[Verse]
D                            Dmaj7
Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
D7                                    G
I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs
       C                             A7
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
                                        D
Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night
D                              Dmaj7
Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand
D7                                    G
why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
         C                             A7
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away
                                          D
to some other guitar picker in some other late night place
D                            Dmaj7
Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away
D7                                          G
I took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A.
C                    A7
Up to New York City, all across the USA
                                              D
I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)

[Chorus]
G          A   D               Am7            D
home's -in Ala bama, no matter where I lay my head
   G             F#m            G                 D
My home's in Ala bama, Southern born and Southern bred

D  Am7  D  Am7  D

[Verse]
D                     Dmaj7
What keeps me goin'?  I don't really know.
D7                 G
can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke
         C                            A7
could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
                                   D
when the people really love ya and let you know when it's good
D                                   Dmaj7
Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please
D7                         G
I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
            C               A7
and someday when I make it, when love finds a way
                                    D 
somewhere high on Lookout Mountain  I'll just smile with pride and say that my

[Chorus]
G       A      D               Am7            D
home's -in Ala bama, no matter where I lay my head
   G             F#m   G                          D
My home's in Ala bama, Southern born and Southern bred
