Alabama Sky

G             D
Lord, take me home
        Am     Cm(add9)
Take me home
          G
but not today
G                      D
I’m lost, but I’m not alone
         Am    Cm(add9)
I’m not alone
               G
Help me find a way

Am        C           G
I’ve made promises to you I’ve failed to keep
Am               C/G           G
    Found myself sinning in my sleep
Em          C/G                   G
     Lonely nights when I thought you’d give up on me
             Bm                                    D
And then I’d fall down on my knees and there you’d be

G             D
Lord, make me strong
        Am               Cm(add9)               G
Make me strong enough to take my brothers hand
G                 D
Stand for however long
        Am               Cm(add9)               G
However long it takes to see the promised land

Am           C                      G
    Southern breeze don’t feel like anything to me
Am             C/G           G
    I don’t remember feeling free
Em                    C/G              G
    But I’ve seen the evening sun come dancing through the trees
                   Bm                       D
And I thought that Alabama sky was just for me

[Verse]
G             D
Lord, take me home
        Am      Cm(add9)
Take me home
          G
But not today
    G                  D
I’m lost, but I’m not alone
         Am    Cm(add9)             G
I’m not alone, help me find a way

Am         C               G
   I’ve forgiven those who lied and cursed my name
Am           C/G             G
   I pray my brothers do the same
Em          C/G              G
    My lady stayed beside me patient through the pain
          Bm                            D
And I saw sadness in her eyes but never shame

G              D
Lord, let them see
         Am                 Cm(add9)              G
Let them see the heart that beats behind my skin

G            D
Lord, set me free
       Am              Cm(add9)              G
Set me free so you can do the same for them
