The riff is on piano, but on the guitar can be done by barring at V
and alternately playing
MI-x
SI-7
SOL-7
RE-7
A-5 sound this note only every other time
MI-x
and
MI-x
SI-5
SOL-5
RE-x
LA-x
MI-x
Here it is - as usual, I'll let you align the lyrics...
RE RE RE RE
[intro - DCDCDC etc riff w/o 5th's]
RE/DO RE/DO RE RE
RE RE RE RE
RE/DO RE/DO RE RE
RE RE RE RE
Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen inch Hitachi
RE/DO RE/DO RE RE
And many deamons lingering
RE RE RE RE
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
RE/DO RE/DO RE RE
Something that he picked up from the King
DO DO RE RE
His wife remembers well the man she knew
DO DO SIm SIm
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue, she's
LAm LAm SOL SOL
wasted years No
FA FA MIm MIm
time for tears 'Cause there's
RE DO SOL RE
another chance and someday soon
RE DO SOL RE
Shining like the Alabama moon She's
RE DO SOL RE
looking for her promised land
RE DO DO DO
Out beyond the lights of ...............
DO DO RE RE
Birmingham
RE/DO RE/DO RE RE
It's three a.m. and Virgil's
RE RE RE/DO RE/DO
passed out on the sofa a fifth of Jim Beam on the
RE RE RE RE
floor She's packed a bag, she slips the
RE RE RE/DO RE/DO
keys out of his pocket she's careful not to slam the
RE RE DO DO
door and as she drives she rubs her
RE RE DO DO
rosary she's never been so all alone, she never
SIm SIm LAm LAm
felt so free she's got miles to
SOL SOL FA FA
go, blind faith and
Em [you get the idea.......
hope... 'cause there's another chance, and
someday soon Shining like the
Alabama moon she's looking for, her
promised land Out beyond the lights of
Birmingham
And as the rain falls down upon the interstate
Any doubts she had are all but washed away
One long look back at
Bir................ming...........ham... 'cause there's
another chance and someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for her promised land
Out beyond the lights of Birmingham.......
[repeat and fade]
