Stars In Alabama

Jamey Johnson

Capo 3

         G                         Cadd9                            G
I said, “Mama don’t you worry, I’m getting by just fine out on the road.
        Am                                 Cadd9             D
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and tomorrow night its back to Music
G
Row.

      G                                 Cadd9                        G
No, I don’t know when I’m coming home, Montgomery seems so very far away”.
           Am                                D
She said, “Boy, it wouldn’t kill you none to look out past the bright
                G
lights on that stage.


(Chorus)

                          Cadd9 D                             G
‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in Tennessee.
                            Am                           D
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
                               Cadd9    D                              G
I know there’s big names up in Nashville. And you’ll be one before too long.
                         Am  D                               G
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.”


2nd Verse
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jamey_johnson/stars_in_alabama_crd.html ]
       G                                 Cadd9                     G
I hung up the phone and I could feel the emptiness at 80 miles an hour.
      Am                                D
And I listened close and I could hear my heart beating louder than the
G
tires.
         G                          Cadd9
This old bus was headed west but my mind was drifting somewhere towards the
G
south.

      Am                                 Cadd9                 D
And I closed my eyes and I could see the bright lights shining clearly
             G
through the clouds.


(Chorus)

                         Cadd9  D                             G
‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in Tennessee.
                            Am                           D
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
                               Cadd9    D                              G
I know there’s big names up in Nashville. And you’ll be one before too long.
                         Am                                 G
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.”

                          Am
Yeah, there’s stars in Alabama. (Pause) That just can’t wait ‘til you get
G
home.

This is only my second time submitting and it's late tonight so if I messed up I 
I just got frustrated that nobody had put anything together for more of Jamey's songs. Anyways 
is my contribution.

This is a great song.

Enjoy,
