Subject: chord Alabama Clay by Garth Brooks

Capo 2 fret

D A Bm G D A AsusA

First time he saw the ground get busted he was ten and it was nineteen fifty two

D A Bm

His daddy worked hard from sun up to sun down

G D A AsusA

and the going got tuff hind them old grey mules.

D A Bm

The farm grew to be a money maker

G D A AsusA

and the house he lived in grew up room by room

D A Bm

The boy worked hard but soon got tired of farming

G A D

So he slipped away one night beneath the harvest moon.

G D

his neck was red as Alabama clay

Bm A

but the cities call pulled him away

G D

he's hot a factory job and runs a big machine

A D

he don't miss the farm or the fields of green.

D A Bm

Now the cities just a prison without fences.

G D A

His job is just a routine he can't stand

D A Bm

and at night he dreams of wide open spaces

G D A

fresh dirt beneath his toes and on his hands.

D A Bm

Then one day a picture came inside a letter

G D A

of a young girl with a baby in her arms.

D A Bm

And the words she wrote would change his life forever.

G A D

So he went to raise his family on the farm.

G D

his neck is red as Alabama Clay

Bm A

X2 now he's going home this time to stay

G D

where the roots run deep on the family tree

A D

and the tractor rolls through the fields of green.

G D

His neck is red......as Alabama clay.
