ALABAMA GETAWAY
Grateful Dead

INTRO:
E   D     C--A-C--A

VERSE 1: 
A
32 teeth in a jawbone, Alabama's tryin' for none
E                           D                               C--A-C--A
Before I have to hit him, I hope he's got the sense to run
A
THe reason the poor girls love him, promise them everything
E                            D                         C--A-C--A
Why they all believe him? He wears a big diamond ring

CHORUS:
A                         D
Alabama getaway, getaway, Alabama getaway, getaway
E                      D                                        C--A-C--A  C--A-CC-A
Only way to please me, just turn 'round and leave and walk away

A      D      E   D     C--A-C--A

VERSE 2:
A
Major Domo Billy Bojangles, sat down and had a drink with me
            E                 D                          C--A-C--A
Said "What about Alabama?" It keeps a comin' back to me
A
I heard your plea in the courthouse, Witness box began to rock and rise
      E                         D                   C--A-C--A
Forty-nine sister states had Alabama in their eyes

CHORUS:
A                         D
Alabama getaway, getaway, Alabama getaway, getaway
E                      D                                        C--A-C--A  C--A-CC-A
Only way to please me, just turn 'round and leave and walk away 

SOLOS:
A      D      E   D     C--A-C--A
A      D      E   D     C--A-C--A

Major said "Why don't we give him, rope enough to hang himself?"
           E                       D                                 C--A-C--A
No need to worry the jury, they'll probably take care of themselves
A
Twenty-third psalm Major Domo, reserve me a table for three
            E                          D                     C--A-C--A
Down in the valley of the shadow, just you, Alabama, and me

CHORUS: (repeat 4 times to fade/end)
A                         D
Alabama getaway, getaway, Alabama getaway, getaway
E                      D                                        C--A-C--A  C--A-CC-A
Only way to please me, just turn 'round and leave and walk away
