I found out about the Caad9 months after I wrote this post. Should have updated it I suppose.

I don't know what old shaky did to offend though (see lyrics) perhaps someone can tell me.

VERSE 1

D-- C----------------G-------
Big wheels keep on turning

D----------C-------------G------
Carry me home to see my kin.

D-------C-----------------G----------
Singing songs about the southland

D-----------C------------G
I miss'ole' 'bamy once again (and I think it's a sin)

Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember,
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

CHORUS (Use same chords as above)

Sweet home Alabama,
Where the skies are so blue,
Sweet home Alabama,
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

VERSE 2

In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor
F-----C----D
Boo hoo hoo !
Now we all did what we could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me.
Does your conscience bother you? (tell the truth)

CHORUS Repeat

VERSE 3

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a tune or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

CHORUS repeat




love & peace to all
and p.s. Apparently today is the official southpaw day here in UK
Chris So if I were going to strum the song with these chords...what is the strumming pattern? And do you do that strumming pattern fully for each chord?]]> Easy Songs tentex25 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/sweet-home-alabama-lynyrd-skynyrd/#post-259754 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/sweet-home-alabama-lynyrd-skynyrd/#post-256143 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:10:00 +0000
I think it was the lines

I hear screaming and
Bullwhips cracking and
How long, how long
How long

Fact- At the height of slavery, less than 3% of Southerners owned slaves.
The other 97% were slaves]]> Easy Songs idontknow https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/sweet-home-alabama-lynyrd-skynyrd/#post-256143 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/sweet-home-alabama-lynyrd-skynyrd/#post-255687 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 23:31:37 +0000
Reminds me always of cirus the virus in Con Air.
