Birmingham
Intro: E A E B
E E/G#
Got a wife, got a family
A F#
Earn my livin' with my hand
B
I'm a roller in a steel mill
E
In downtown Birmingham
My daddy was a barber
And a most unsightly man
He was born in tuscaloosa
But he died right here in Birmingham
Chorus:
E A
Birmingham, Birmingham
E F#7 B
The greatest city in alabam'
E A F#7
You can travel 'cross this entire land
B E
But there's no place like Birmingham
Wife's named mary but she's called marie
We live in a three room house with a pepper tree
I work all day in the factory
That's alright with me
Got a big black dog
Whose name is dan
Lives in my backyard in birmingham
He is the meanest dog in alabam'
Get 'em dan
