ALABAMA PINES - Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit
Capo 4
[Intro] C
[Verse]
C Cmaj9
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 Fmaj7
I hardly even know my name anymore.
C
When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away.
C Cmaj9
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 Fmaj7
Probably never made a single person cold,
C
but I can't say the same for me. I've done it many times.
Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7 C
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
C Cmaj9
You can't drive through Talladega on a weekend in October.
Am Am7
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]
Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7 C
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7 C
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
C Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7
Ohh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
C Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7
Ohh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
[Verse]
C Cmaj9
If we pass through on a Sunday, better make a stop at Wayne's.
Am Am7
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 Cmaj9
I needed that damn woman like a dream needs gasoline.
Am
I tried to be some ancient kind of man,
Am7 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]
Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7 C
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7 C
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.
C Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7
Ohh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
C Cmaj9 Am Am7 Fmaj7
Ohh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
C Cmaj9
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 Fmaj7
I don't even need a name anymore.
C
When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away.
C Cmaj9
No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about.
Am Am7
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.
