----------
Here is a very easy way to play Sweet Home Alabama. It is NOT EXACTLY
the way they do it, but it is very close and sounds good to me.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: h - denotes hammer on
p - denotes pull off
1. INTRO
The following riff is the INTRO (I think they play it twice)
D C G
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|
|--------3---------------3------|-------------------------------|
|----------2---------------0----|--------0-----------------0----|
|--0--0------0---------------0--|-------------------0-0h2----0--|
|--------------3p0-3------------|------------0-0h2--------------|
|-------------------------------|-3p0-3-------------------------|
^from here to the end of the
measure play quickly
2. VERSES
During the VERSES you can just repeat the following two measures,
or play the INTRO measures if you like the picking.
D C G
|--------2-------------0--------|--------3----------------------|
|--------3-------------1--------|--------0----------------------|
|--------2-------------0--------|--------0----------------0-----|
|--0--0--0-------------2--------|--------0---------0-0h2-----0--|
|----------------3--3--3--------|--------2---0-0h2--------------|
|-------------------------------|--3--3--3----------------------|
3. CHORUS
During the CHORUS I repeat the following four measures (again, you could
substitute the picking of the intro instead of strumming the chords).
D C G
|--------2-------------0--------|--------3----------------------|
|--------3-------------1--------|--------0----------------------|

NOTE: About the neat little riff between the verses and the solo,
well I don't have them figured out yet. Does anyone else?
Here are the lyrics, just in case.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
Big wheels keep on turning,
carry me home to see my kin
singing songs about the southland.
I miss ole bamy once again and I think it's a sin. Yes.
Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her.
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
a southern man don't need him around anyhow.
Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor. Oooh hoo hoo.
Now we all did what we could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me.
Does your conscience bother you, tell the truth.
Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
and they ve been known to pick a song or two.
Lord, they get me off so much,
they pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you.
Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
