Intro:
G D C G
G D C G
You looked real calm as we made our way up the walk
G D C G
There were lazy kisses, hands brushing and small talk
G D G C
The moon was high, your smooth face was dry and the
G
kudzu…. grew
CHORUS:
G D G
and the stars fell on alabama
D G
and your eyes filled up with lightning
D G C G D G
and the stars fell on alaba- ma
G D C G
The warm earth underneath us gave way
D C G
dry grass crinkled like paper as a breeze came in across the bay
D
cold clean water nearby
G C
glimmered in your eyes
G D
and your pistol (glistened)
G D G
and the stars fell on alabama
D G
and your eyes filled up with lightning
D G C
and the stars fell on alaba- ma
G D G
but if you think I’ll take a bullet for you, you’re dreaming!
