Intro Chords Out in California, a rock star from Canada Wrote a couple of great songs about the bad s**t that went down "Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around Meanwhile in North Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town To record with Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals Sound And they met some real good people, not no racist piece of s**t And they wrote a song about it and that song became a hit Chorus

^DRonnie and Neil, ^GRonnie and Neil ^FRock stars today ain't ^Bbhalf as real ^DSpeaking there minds on ^Ghow they feel Let your ^Fguitars blast for ^DRonnie and Neil

Intro chords Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song So he wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the lord And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground And to my way of thinking, us southern men need both of them around Chorus Chorus
