About Sweet Home Alabama

Creation and Recording: At a band practice shortly after bassist Ed King had switched to guitar, King heard fellow guitarist Gary Rossington playing a guitar riff that inspired him (in fact, this riff is still heard in the final version of the song and is played during the verses as a counterpoint to the main D-C+9-G chord progression). In interviews, Ed King has said that, during the night following the practice session, the chords and two main guitar solos came to him in a dream, note for note. .

Sweet Home Alabama Lyrics

[00:04.55] They got loose to you
[00:13.04] Here it comes
[00:13.61] Oh, whoa-whoa
[00:23.17] Big wheels keep on turnin'
[00:28.39] Carry me home to see my kin
[00:33.07] Singin' songs about the Southland
[00:37.99] I miss Alabamy once again, and I think it's a sin, I said
[00:52.78] Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her
[00:57.76] Well, I heard old Neil put her down
[01:02.88] Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
[01:07.25] A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow
[01:13.62] Sweet home Alabama
[01:17.42] Where the skies are so blue
[01:22.38] Sweet home Alabama
[01:27.27] Lord, I'm comin' home to you
[01:42.15] One thing I wanna tell you
[01:43.36] In Birmingham, they love the governor (boo, boo, boo!)
[01:47.85] Now we all did what we could do
[01:51.74] Now Watergate does not bother me, uh-uh
[01:56.91] Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth
[02:01.86] Sweet home Alabama
[02:06.81] Where the skies are so blue
[02:12.08] Sweet home Alabama (oh, my baby)
[02:16.63] Lord, I'm comin' home to you (here I come, Alabama)
[02:23.29] Speak your mind
[02:41.31] Ah-ah-ah (can you feel that?), Alabama
[02:45.15] Ah-ah-ah, Alabama
[02:49.12] Ah-ah-ah, Alabama
[02:54.41] Ah-ah-ah, Alabama
[03:10.37] Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
[03:15.27] And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)
[03:20.46] Lord, they get me off so much
[03:25.82] They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue, now how 'bout you?
[03:31.08] Sweet home Alabama (oh)
[03:34.92] Where the skies are so blue
[03:39.79] Sweet home Alabama
[03:44.83] Lord, I'm comin' home to you
[03:51.03] Sweet home Alabama (home, sweet home, baby)
[03:54.68] Where the skies are so blue (and the governor's, too)
[03:57.99] Sweet home Alabama (Lord, yeah)
[04:03.81] Lord, I'm comin' home to you (whoo, whoa, yeah, oh)
[04:37.01] Alright, brother, now
[04:38.33] Wait one minute
[04:38.93] Oh-oh, sweet Alabama
[04:39.51] Thank you
[04:40.09]
