Here’s Alabama’s «Mountain Music», by Randy Owen
Again, if anyone has tab (esp. on the intro and solo parts) please email it
To me, or post it!

Chorus 1: (a capella until you reach «to a Cajun..»
Oh, [A] play me some mountain [D] music
Like [A] grandma and grandpa used to play [D]
Then I’ll [A] float on down the riv-[D]er
To a Ca-[E]jun hidea-[A]way.
Verse 1:
[A] Drift away like Tom [D] Sawyer
Ride a raft[A] with ol’ Huck [D] Finn
Take a nap[A] like Rip Van Winkle,
Daze [G] dreamin’ a-[E]gain.
Chorus 2—same chords as chorus one for the first 3 lines. Then:
To a Ca-[Bm]jun hidea-[E]way.
(guitar solo)
Verse 2 (same chords as 1)
Swim across the river
Just to prove that I’m a man
Spend the day bein’ lazy
Just bein’ nature’s friend
V3
Climb a long tall hick’ry
Bend it over, skinnin’ cats
Playin’ baseball with chert rocks
Usin’ sawmill slabs for bats
Bridge:
(also a capella, like first chorus, until you reach «’cause that’s where..»)
Play some [A] back-home come-on [D] music
That [A] comes from the heart [D]
Play [A] something with lots of feel-[D]in’
’cause that’s where [Bm] music has to [E] start.
(chorus 2)
On last line «…a cajun hideaway aay-aay-aaaiiiaay» — then a drum solo
Ensues and the tempo increases—go back to the first chorus for the ending,
But play all of the chords.
Enjoy!
