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!
