Alabama Rose Chords & Lyrics - Bobby Bare

[INTRO]
[A] [G] [D] [E7]

[VERSE 1]
One n[A]ight I went to t[G]own
And met a gi[D]rl from Alab[A]ama
In her eyes I s[G]aw the sadness s[D]he had seen in l[E7]ife
I fo[A]und out she had sp[G]ent some wasted ye[D]ars in Chi[A]cago
She had k[A]nown a hundred m[G]en or more
But n[D]ever as a wi[E7]fe

[CHORUS]
She was g[A]oing home
To st[D]art her life ag[A]ain in Alabama
Where s[A]he had been
And w[D]hy God only kn[E7]ows [B7] [E7]
But I lo[A]ved that girl
And be[D]gged her just to st[A]ay with me in Nashville
And I c[A]alled that girl my A[G]laba[D]ma R[A]ose

[VERSE 2]
The d[A]ays turned into w[G]eeks
And I was s[D]ure she'd learned to l[A]ove me
But so[A]metimes late at n[G]ight
I'd wake and l[D]isten to her [E7]cry
The s[A]un came up one m[G]orning
And my r[D]ose was not bes[A]ide me
I g[A]ot that feeling
[G]Like you w[D]ant to d[E7]ie

[CHORUS]
Now I wo[A]nder if she e[D]ver made it b[A]ack to Alabama
Wh[A]ere she is and w[D]hy God only kn[E7]ows [B7] [E7]
But s[A]he must know no ma[D]tter where she g[A]oes
My dr[A]eams go with her
'Cause I still love my [G]Alab[D]ama R[A]ose
God knows I love my [G]Alab[D]ama R[A]ose
