Brent Cobb - King of alabama

Well, I d^Eidn't know him best ^AHe'd say we were friends We b^Both rode the highways on the s^Eong So I'm w^Eriting this one here in m^Aemory of him 'Cause the ^BKing of Alabama has gone h^Eome

He was a ^Eman among men, the old-school kind Had a g^Areat big heart, a laid-back mind Let you h^Bold his guitar if you broke his string If you th^Aought he looked country, outta h^Beard him sing

From Al^Eabama 'cross the Rio Grande He beat the b^Alacktop down with a five-piece band Not b^Because he loved it - he did that too - But he^A did it man 'cause that's what he was bo^Brn to do

^C#mSome people ca^G#mlculate moves ^AHe never had a t^Ehing to prove ^C#mHe just let the wind take h^G#mim where it ^Amay ^E It's a ^F#mdamn shame the way things go It's ^G#mtoo bad we have to lose the good folks A G#m F#m B E |A But the King of Alabama has gone home

"Nothin'^E good ever happens after midnight," ^Aso the story goes ^BYou can't trust nobody, ^Ait don't matter how c^Blose It was a fr^Eiend that took him from his ^Afamily I keep his ch^Bain in my pocket, his son in my prayers Every s^Atage I'm on, I can f^Beel him there

^C#mSome people c^G#malculate moves ^AHe never had a thi^Eng to prove ^C#mHe just let the wind take h^G#mim where it ^Amay ^E It's a d^F#mamn shame the way things go It's ^G#mtoo bad we have to lose the good folks But the ^AKing of A^F#mlabama ^B has gone home

^C#mSome people calc^G#mulate moves He n^Aever had a t^Ehing to prove ^C#mHe just let the wind take ^G#mhim where it m^Aay ^{E C#m}Honky tonks would t^G#mrip ^AGet a guitar and b^Eeg him to pick Let the ^C#old tunes po^G#msses you and pl^Aay ^E It's a d^F#mamn shame the way things go It's ^G#mtoo bad we have to lose the good folks But the ^AKing of A^G#mlaba^F#mma The ^AKing of ^G#mAlab^F#mama The ^AKing of A^G#mlaba^F#mma ^B has gone h^Eome ^{B A}
