Alabama Pines by Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit
Alabama Pines
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:4th fret
[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.
