  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!
