Alabama Sky
Recorded by Alabama
Written by Larry Shell
C Dm G7
I've seen him plow a field of corn all day that's reality
F G7 C
His overalls are black with dirt but his face is still full of dignity
Dm G7
He talks about the weather and he can tell you when it's gonna rain
F G7 C
Told me 'bout the flood of twenty nine that washed the crops away
F Em F
Underneath that Alabama sky
Dm G7 C
Grandpa told me bout the things he'd seen
F Em F
Underneath that Alabama sky
Dm G7 C
I listened to my Grandpa's memories
Dm G7
At times he'd mention Grandma turn his head and wipe away a tear
F
Sometimes we'd take her picture down
G7 C
And sit and pretend that she's still here
Dm G7
Three girls and two boys he raised on love and simple honesty
F G7 C
And when they finally have to carry him away they'll take a lot of me
Repeat #2 x2
