            [Intro] 
C
[Verse 1]
C                                                              C/B  
Well I moved into this room, if you could call it that, a week ago.
Am
I never do what I'm supposed to do.
           Am7/G            Fmaj7
I hardly even know my name anymore.
                                     C
When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away.
C                                                            C/B  
I can't get to sleep at night. The parking lot's so loud and bright.
    Am
The a/c hasn't worked in twenty years.
               Am7/G   Fmaj7
Probably never made a single person cold,
                                       C
but I can't say the same for me. I've done it many times.
[Chorus]
         C/B     Am            Am7/G Fmaj7        C 
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
[Verse 2]
C                                                    C/B  
You can't drive through Talladega on a weekend in October.
Am                                             Am7/G
Head up north to Jacksonville. Cut around and over.
      Fmaj7
Watch your speed in Boiling Springs.
                                      C
They ain't got a thing to do. They'll get you every time.
[Chorus]
         C/B     Am           Am7/G Fmaj7        C 
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
         C/B     Am           Am7/G Fmaj7        C 
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
C   C/B   Am   Am7/G Fmaj7
Ohh Ohhh  Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
C   C/B   Am   Am7/G Fmaj7
Ohh Ohhh  Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
[Verse 3]
       C                                                     C/B  
If we pass through on a Sunday, better make a stop at Wayne's.
         Am                                     Am7/G
It's the only open liquor store north, and I can't stand the pain
Fmaj7
of being by myself without a little help
     C
on a Sunday afternoon.
C                                                    C/B  
I needed that damn woman like a dream needs gasoline.
Am
I tried to be some ancient kind of man,
                 Am7/G    Fmaj7
one that's never seen the beauty in the world,
                                          C
but I tried to chase it down... tried to make the whole thing mine.
[Chorus]
         C/B     Am            Am7/G Fmaj7      C 
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
         C/B     Am            Am7/G Fmaj7      C 
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
C   C/B   Am   Am7/G Fmaj7
Ohh Ohhh  Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
C   C/B   Am   Am7/G Fmaj7
Ohh Ohhh  Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
[Verse 4]
            C                                                    C/B  
I've been stuck here in this town, if you could call it that, a year or two.
Am
I never do what I'm supposed to do.
              Am7/G       Fmaj7
I don't even need a name anymore.
                                    C
When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away.
C                                                       C/B  
No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about.
Am                                             Am7/G
The liberties that we can't do without seem to disappear
     Fmaj7
like ghosts in the air.
                                   C
When we don't even care, it truly vanishes away.
