	D	A	Bm	G	D	A	AsusA
	First time he	saw the ground get busted he wa	s ten and it was ni	neteen fifty two

	D	A	Bm
His	daddy worked hard from sun up to sun	down

	G	D	A	AsusA
and the goi	ng got tuff hind th	em old grey mules.

	D	A	Bm
The fa	rm grew to be a mo	ney maker

	G	D	A	AsusA
and the hou	se he lived in grew up r	oom by room

	D	A	Bm
The bo	y worked hard but soon got ti	red of farming

	G	A	D
So he sli	pped away one night benea	th the harvest moon.

	G	D
his neck was re	d as Alabama clay

	Bm	A
but the cities call	pulled him away

	G	D
he's hot a factory jo	b and runs a big machine

	A	D
he don't miss the far	m or the fields of green.

	D	A	Bm
Now the citie	s just a prison	without fences.

	G	D	A
His j	ob is just a rout	ine he can't stand

	D	A	Bm
and at nig	ht he dreams of wide open	spaces

	G	D	A
fresh di	rt beneath his toes a	nd on his hands.

	D	A	Bm
Then one day a	picture came insi	de a letter

	G	D	A
of a y	oung girl with a baby	in her arms.

	D	A	Bm
And the word	s she wrote would change his life	forever.

	G	A	D
So he wen	t to raise his family o	n the farm.

	G	D
his neck is	red as Alabama Clay

	Bm	A
X2 now he's going hom	e this time to stay

	G	D
where the roots run deep	on the family tree

	A	D
and the tractor r	olls through the fields of green.

	G	D
His neck is red..	....as Alabama clay.
